Babyteeth (2019 Shannon Murphy)

One of the favourites of Film Club's co-writer Ralph Davis. A quirky film to be sure, though as the story progresses things become clearer. Essentially, young Eliza Scanlen (fabulous) who's extremely ill falls for a no-good homeless young man Toby Wallace, to the consternation of parents Ben Mendelsohn and Essie Davis.

Divided into titled chapters, written by Rita Kalnejais from her own play.

Shannon was nominated by BAFTA. Scanlen was in Greta Gerwig's Little Women and HBO mini-series Sharp Objects.
