Scrapper (2023)
Scrapper (2023)
Overview
Scrapper follows a scrappy 12-year-old girl living alone in a London council flat, stealing bikes with her best friend and fending off social workers, until her absent father reappears and upends her carefully managed world. Director Charlotte Regan's British indie sits comfortably at Neutral. The family structure is unconventional, with a child-led household and a father learning basic caregiving on the fly, which pulls slightly progressive. But the film's real engine is grief, imagination, and the slow repair of a parent-child bond, topics that resonate across political lines. A diverse cast reflects its urban London setting without making identity the story. The signals mostly balance out, landing on Neutral.
