Variety

The well-acted, confidently crafted indie “Scrap” probes messy family dynamics with low-key but taut acuity, avoiding the usual poles of dysfunctional-clan comedy or high drama driven by yelling matches and shocking revelations.

As a screenwriter, Kerr has a deep understanding of her characters and the complex dynamics of the relationship between Ben and Beth.

Guardian

There are a few unnecessarily melodramatic scenes softening the edges, explaining why she is how she is. Kerr’s script doesn’t always match the quality of her interesting, layered lead performance.

Rated: 3/5

What She Said

Given the limited information we’re given, it’s a bit of a puzzle, God forbid Beth straight talks. Kerr’s really pulled off something that could have been problematic. Well worth a look.

Rated: 3/4

North Shore Movies

“Scrap” is the sort of festival film that should thrive on streaming. Never intended to be a blockbuster, it’s a grown-up movie that doesn’t make you feel like you’ve just wasted your time on two hours of explosions and special effects.

Rated: 3/5

While this indie project may not be the showiest or most dynamic of films, it's worth a look for anyone who feels a little bit out of place.

Scrap doesn’t need to shout to make an impact — it quietly gets under your skin and stays there. A tender, beautifully honest story that feels real in every frame.

Felt like a hug and a gut-punch at the same time. Scrap gets it.

Scrap is one of those quiet gems — honest, a little rough around the edges, and completely heartfelt.

A actual movie that relates to not only IVF struggles but to family drama raising a younger sibling. I can relate to this movie so much because I too had to raise a little sister after our parents passed away. It’s not easy replacing the roll of a parent. The struggle is definitely real. The cast was amazing Vivian Kerr(Beth), Lana Parrilla(Stacy), and Anthony Rapp(Ben). Movies like these are so few and far in between. No one wants to talk about real life issues and Ms. Kerr showed us that someone somewhere is going through the same thing.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It’s almost unbelievable that Scrap marks the feature directorial debut of Vivian Kerr. A film so intimate, raw, and emotionally precise is usually the work of a seasoned filmmaker, yet Kerr—who also writes and stars in the film—delivers a story with the kind of wisdom that feels lived-in.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
