Rita Kalnejais’ screenplay “Babyteeth” (based on her stage play) is full of such moments. It’s one of those scripts where every character has their own cadence. No two characters sound alike. Because of this, the film—even though the plot is well-worn and familiar—sparks with spontaneity, with humor and surprise, with moments of deep profundity and emotion. “Babyteeth” is director Shannon Murphy’s feature debut, and what an impressive debut it is.
