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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 3, 2024

Scrapper is about opening up and how a girl who is so steadfastly independent learns it is okay to need someone. Yet Charlotte Regan adds fun and inventiveness to this, creating a kitchen sink drama with a modern visual style.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

The movie leads us to reflect on aspects related to parenting, the responsibility of young people who become parents without much thought, and the effects of forced maturity on children obliged to work even at school age. [Full review in Spanish]

There were a lot of wonderful moments throughout and I look forward to seeing what this young director does next.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 19, 2024

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.

Charlotte Regan’s Scrapper features an absolute knockout debut performance from Lola Campbell as Georgie

| Feb 13, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 7, 2024

Downbeat but uplifting.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2023

[Scrapper] finds some fascinating things to tell, and is charming in its form and conclusion, thus launching the career of a director who may have many more things to say. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 7, 2023

Charlotte Regan delves with delicacy and humor, without avoiding the dramatic aspects, into the clumsy but sincere relationship between a girl and her absent father... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 28, 2023

Amidst all the intentional artificiality of the filmmaking, [Campbell and Dickinson's] largely improvised interactions never ring false — a dynamic that’s crucial to making the movie feel genuinely touching and real rather than saccharine and shallow.

There is community and light to spare for some new (and nice) angry young people. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 21, 2023

Scrapper is constantly animated by a spirit of fun, as if Regan and her team couldn’t bring themselves to dwell too long on the sad bits.

| Nov 13, 2023

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2023

Scrapper director Charlotte Regan, who hails from this working-class London milieu, effortlessly captures how the community wildly crisscrosses in the shared spaces around their pastel, candy-colored flats.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2023

Director Charlotte Regan handles these matters with a candy-colored levity that can quite often be charming, in a whimsical, Wes Anderson way, but sometimes just plain baffling.

| Oct 4, 2023

A really remarkable directorial debut. It's a quirky, weird, delightful and offbeat film.

| Oct 3, 2023

Think of it as the bastard offspring of Charlotte Wells’s Aftersun and Sean Baker’s The Florida Project, with a little Wes Anderson thrown into the mix...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 25, 2023

Even as it heads exactly where you’re expecting, her simple story grows just as likable and touching as it intends.
