June Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss19 of 29
Babyteeth | Available on VOD Friday, June 19
Plot: When seriously ill teenager Milla falls madly in love with small-time drug dealer Moses, it's her parents' worst nightmare...at first.
Our Take: I'm thinking this indie-minded romantic comedy might get filed in my brain next to Greener Grass as a fine example of how to completely subvert standard movie tropes and look at life — and in this case, potential mortality — in offbeat and serious and funny ways. You might be familiar with stars Eliza Scanlen and, of course, Ben Mendelsohn, but Toby Wallace won an acting award at last year's Venice Film Festival for his take on the kinda familiar small-town drug dealer character. — Arno
