Teeth Trailers

Things of worth are often neglected in favour of that which might be more immediately gratifying. Unfortunately, the things that are neglected are often lost forever, irreplaceable. This is the story of a man with a misguided and intense focus – one which started in his youth and carried on to old age. His life events are chronicled through the loss of his teeth – and how his obsessive efforts to amend what was damaged bring on yet further destruction.

Reviews
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Teeth" is a 7-minute animated short film and the most known work by writers and directors Daniel Gray and Tom Brown, their second collaboration in fact and they got a decent share of awards recognition with their work here. We have a narrator telling us about his teeth and what he is doing with them throughout his entire life starting with his birth until up in his sixties. At the very end, the story takes a turn for the weird as he starts pulling animal teeth and compares them to his own human teeth. It was a strange little film, but never strangely captivating. The animation (to some extent subjectively) and story did not really leave a lasting impression for me and I do not agree with the praise this one got from awards bodies. Narrator Richard E. Grant that you may have seen on stuff like "Logan" did a decent job overall though, certainly one of the few better aspects. All in all, I give teeth a thumbs-down though. Not recommended.
