Babyteeth (iTunes, GooglePlay) An adaptation of screenwriter Rita Kalnejais’ 2012 stage play of the same name, feature debutant director Shannon Murphy crafted a brilliantly executed coming-of-age drama, a blackly comedic look at a family in crisis and one of the best contemporary tales from our mates across the Tasman since 2010’s
Animal Kingdom. Delivering a raw, utterly convincing turn (she even apparently shaved her own head for the role) as a young woman trying to make the most of what’s left of her life, Eliza Scanlen is a mesmerising centre around which this, sometimes, stunning film revolves.
