1h 24m Comedy, Drama
Stars: Lola Campbell, Alin Uzun, Harris Dickinson
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) arrives. As they adjust to their new circumstances, Georgie and Jason find that they both still have a lot of growing up to do. 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.
Review: “Scrapper is one of the finest British films I’ve seen in a long time. The themes that the film deals with around grief, family, youth, growth and friendship, are explored beautifully through a mixture of raw emotion and genuinely funny humour. Simply put Scrapper is an absolute treat of a film, that is as funny as it is emotional. It is not one to be missed.” – ethanbresnett IMDB Audience Reviewer
