Shannon Murphy’s
whip-smart family drama Babyteeth opens in cinemas - win tickets
The wickedly perverse debut from
Shannon Murphy features a super sharp script and a tremendous
performance from Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects). Struggling
parents Henry and Anna (Ben Mendelsohn and Essie Davis) are
horrified to find out their terminally ill teenage daughter Milla
is infatuated with a small time drug dealer, seven years her
senior.
But as Milla's first experience
of love brings her a new lust for life, their traditional morals
go out the window in this refreshing take on the coming of age
film. We have 2 tickets to give away for Babyteeth at
Everyman Leeds. For a chance to win, email leeds.film@leeds.gov.uk with the subject line 'Babyteeth' by midday on
Fri 14 August.
Tickets | Watch the Trailer
From Fri 14 August. Everyman Leeds & Harrogate, Cineworld
