Babyteeth 2020

-

Shannon Murphy’s Bafta-nominated comedy drama about a 16-year-old girl coming of age while dealing with terminal cancer was launched on Netflix during lockdown.

Clare said: “We are always trying to find things we can watch with our daughter Elle and she chose this one.

“I loved it, and the funniest and most perplexing thing is the daughter in the film falls for the least appropriat­e boy on the planet,

he’s honestly every parent’s worst nightmare.

“But it’s so clever because it’s about how easy it is to judge people and trying to understand that sometimes you have to free your mind a little bit of preconcept­ions.

“We’re witnessing this family coming together while facing this really difficult thing with their daughter having terminal cancer. You’re really aware of the pain they’re experienci­ng, but it’s flipped to become incredibly positive.

“The performanc­es are great, it’s a real ensemble piece and having come out during the pandemic, it now deserves to be seen on the big screen.”
