Shannon Murphy (Babyteeth)

Babyteeth, the new film from Shannon Murphy, sneaks up on you.

The film follows Milla, a seriously ill teenager played by Eliza Scanlen, who falls for a small-time drug dealer and pill poppr named Moses — played by Toby Wallace, who perfectly captures the too-beautiful-for-this world charisma of so many addicts with a gravitational pull on those around them. Milla's parents are played by the excellent Essie Davis and Ben Mendelsohn.

Babyteeth is based on a play by Rita Kalnejais, who also wrote the script.
