Tooth

About This Movie

Tooth is this offbeat blend of comedy and drama, really. The film captures Daniel's descent into desperation as he grapples with this relentless toothache. It’s a raw, gritty examination of how far someone might go when backed into a corner. The pacing leans into the awkwardness of his situation, almost cringeworthy at times, but that's part of its charm. You can feel the tension in those scenes where he contemplates his brutal solution. The performances are surprisingly grounded, avoiding over-the-top antics, which adds to the film's distinctive vibe. There's a kind of dark humor woven throughout that keeps it from being too heavy. And the practical effects? They add a visceral quality that really sticks with you.
