Audience Score

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.

I really wanted to like this movie, but I couldn't understand much of the dialogue. We rented it from a streaming service and had turned on CC but apparently there was no closed caption available. I blame that on cheap production. Too bad.

A beautiful film. It paid close attention to character development- it neither felt too long or too short in introducing its characters and their arcs. I have no criticisms whatsoever. Will be recommending this ASAP.

Great acting all around. Heart-warming tale that doesn't spare the grit of a lower-class existence.

Empire Magazine

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

Rated: 4/5

Washington Post

Delicately dancing the knife edge between too-cute and over-maudlin, the filmmaker and her terrific actors have given viewers that rarity in cinema: uplift without the dreary moralizing.

Rated: 3.5/4

Lola Campbell just [gives] a great performance... she and Harris Dickinson have really fun chemistry.

InSession Film

The Xavier Dolan-esque jump cuts and the intersecting video game sequences are a (satisfying) distraction from the heart of the film, but they are still enjoyable to watch.

The Skinny

The movie's secret weapon is its leading duo: an old soul trapped in a young girl's body and a 30-year-old who's a teen at heart. It's a potentially flammable combination sustained by an effortless chemistry between Campbell and Dickinson.

Rated: 3/5
