Dennis Harvey 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. Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com As a screenwriter, Kerr has a deep understanding of her characters and the complex dynamics of the relationship between Ben and Beth. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Cath Clarke 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 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Ian Simmons Kicking the Seat Scrap overflows with the nuisances, distractions, and blessings in disguise that sometimes make capital-A Avoidance an alluring alternative to confronting life. Rated: 5/5 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Jason Delgado Film Threat Scrap got me in the feels with its strong message of hanging in there even when life hits you in the gut. Rated: 9/10 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Especially when you do everything right and still fail — a casualty of circumstances and not personal fault or moral failing — community is what you need to survive. If nothing else, "Scrap" conveys this will absolute clarity. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Pauline What a wonderful movie! We were captivated from the beginning to the end! Realistic, poignant, compassionate and always authentic, it takes a combination of outstanding writing and skilled acting to make an excellent film and this has both. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Helen J A nice break from the Hallmark movies this time of year. No princes (just an ex). No palaces (just a car). No storybook ending. Just a realistic look at a woman with a young child who loses her job and how she carefully interacts with the brother who helped raise her after their parents die. But for the grace of God.... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Agustina A La verdad es que vi la película por Stacy (Lana) y me gustó pero siento que estaría para una segunda parte donde nos cuenten más a profundidad como era antes la relación de los hermanos y como Ben y Stacy pudieron tener un hijo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Peter B I really enjoyed watching Scrap. This movie is just full of heart and authenticity. The characters felt so reel and lived in. Script and direction were really excellent and had me engaged from the start to the end. The journey that all the characters went through felt genuine and I wanted to know what was next for them in their lives. I really enjoyed the music and the beautiful cinematography. Just well done on all levels and a joy of a film. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
