On the 134th episode of Piecing It Together, Daniel Berrios joins me to talk about one of the freshest, most excited debuts of 2020, Shannon Murphy’s Babyteeth. While it fits pretty squarely in the “dying teen” sub-genre of coming-of-age movies, this is a special movie and definitely has something more to say about life. Puzzle pieces include Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, The Fault In Our Stars, The Virgin Suicides and Garden State.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for Babyteeth and the movies we discuss!
Director – Shannon Murphy
Writer – Rita Kalnejais
Starring Eliza Scanlen, Toby Wallace, Essie Davis, Ben Mendelsohn
