Filled with indie conventions, Scrapper tells the twee tale of a deadbeat dad reuniting with his preteen daughter - though not funnily or sweetly enough to stand out. JacobOller's Sundance2023 review:
Deadbeat dads love to blow back into people’s lives in indie movies. The precocious kids they abandoned have a similar passion for shedding their prickly-yet-charming crust to reveal the soft, yearning children beneath., music video director Charlotte Regan’s feature debut, cobbles together another story in this mold, this time set in a broke neighborhood on the fringe of London with Jason as the bleach-blond dirtbag dad and Georgie as the bike-stealing 12-year-old he left behind.
The stage is set through the pseudo-doc confessionals permeating sitcoms: Her grizzled teacher doesn’t care, her social workers are inept and overworked. She and her pal Ali deliver bikes to a fence; a local convenience store clerk provides voice recordings to dupe uncaring and literally distant authority figures.
