This vibrant and inventive father-daughter comedy follows Georgie (Lola Campbell), a resourceful 12-year-old girl who secretly lives alone in her flat in a working class suburb of London following the death of her mother. She makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali (Alin Uzun) and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. Out of nowhere, her estranged father Jason (Harris Dickinson; Triangle of Sadness, Beach Rats) arrives and forces her to confront reality. Uninterested in this sudden new parental figure, Georgie is stubbornly resistant to his efforts. As they adjust to their new circumstances, Georgie and Jason find that they both still have a lot of growing up to do. Winner of a Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Scrapper is full of spirit, humor, and formal inventiveness that sets it apart from much of British working-class cinema. Dickinson and remarkable newcomer Campbell imbue irresistible charm into this moving and frequently hilarious story of two emotionally tangled people: a grieving kid thrust into adulthood and a father in over his head.

Like a cold treat on a hot day, Scrapper delivers two scoops of a sweet father-daughter dramedy best consumed when in need of a hug.

3/5

Inspired by Taika Waititi’s Boy, it’s otherwise entirely different: a bright black comedy with endearingly rough edges, much like its characters.

Harris Dickinson is wonderful as a deadbeat dad in this working-class father-daughter film.

Scrapper refuses to be pigeonholed as another dreary story about working-class life. Grief has hope, youth holds the keys to everything.

3.5/5

An amalgam of Aftersun and The Florida Project. However, it doesn't reach the sadness and emotion of the former, nor the hilarity of the latter, thus placing itself in the middle ground between the two. [Full Review in Spanish]

3/5

The details of their characters...makes them seem like they’re two-scene accomplices to an A-list London heist, which make the focus on these characters all the more fun and sincere.

Scrapper is a feisty, restless film, one that creatively portrays a young girl’s navigation of grief and her subsequent relationship with her father.

‘한 아이를 키우려면 온 마을이 필요하다. 미안하지만, 난 혼자 자랄 수 있어.‘ 전반부 바이브 넘나 사랑스럽고, 후반부 풀이 나이브하지만 따뜻하다. (예전 로고의)웨스트햄 유니폼만 입고 있음으로써 런던 서민층임을 짐작할 수 있다. 아빠 역 해리스 디킨슨 각본 잘 고르면 대성할 수도.

Scrapper uniquely balances humor and grief as it follows a young girl learning to accept her biological father, creating an emotionally gripping journey that is both hilarious and deeply human. Check out my more in-depth review at The Reel Ranker by searching "Scrapper" ;)

I really enjoyed Scrapper — it feels like reading a Nick Hornby novel, with brilliant performances and a heartwarming ending that leaves you with strength and hope.
