Yeah this film from down under is funny, quirky, heart-warming, and heart-breaking and the on screen chemistry and electricity between the young lovers is so remarkable and unlike any love story ever put to film. The actors were phenomenal and absorbing and played their parts perfectly well. I was laughing one scene and crying the next.
So 'Babyteeth' is primarily a love story on one hand and a tragic family drama on the other with a bunch of comic circumstances and scenarios thrown in and juxtaposed with the love, loss, addiction, disfunction, and dieing portrayed in the film. Please don't think it's dark comedy or similar. This is serious film first. Direction, casting, acting, everything was perfect and spot on.
This film will elicit a lot of emotions....happy at times , sad others, and then flat out sadness sorrow and crying at the end. The plot/theme is nothing new but the way the director kept each scene simple and focused and kept dialog minimized and the chemistry and character development and interaction maximized, breathed new life and not cliché.
Take the time to see this picture....it won't disapoint. The subject matter may be bleak but you have never seen it like this and as tearful as it may be, it's so worth watching and experiencing the emotions for yourself. Rate 10/10 for 'off the richter'.
