Review of Babyteeth (2020) by Jluis_001 — 11 Sep 2020
The combo of a teenager and a terminal illness.
To be honest that's already a pretty tiresome narrative resource and I actually started to see it with a tired expectation.
The mainstream side of the YA genre has already explored it quite a bit, with more manipulative and sentimental results than truly emotional.
And while Babyteeth doesn't come to rediscover anything either, it's a story that feels more spontaneous.
The path is similar, the characters will learn, they will experience something different, they will grow and ultimately maybe it will cause a change. The topics are there, but Babyteeth manages to make them feel even if not innovative, more entertaining and satisfying.
Let's say Babyteeth is like The Fault in Our Stars but for viewers looking for more than just the perfect idyll.
