A motherless 12-year-old girl meets her absent father, with surprising results, in “Scrapper,” a flinty and funny portrait of resilience.
Viewers expecting a dour study in British miserabilism are in for a bracing surprise in this warmly affecting portrait of resilience at its flintiest and funniest. Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Charlotte Regan, this quirky slice of life seeks to subvert nearly every expectation set up by what was once called kitchen-sink drama, with its monochrome palette and hangdog naturalism.
At first, those moments of exuberance come from Georgie herself — an unforgettable character played by newcomer Lola Campbell with an irresistible combination of toughness and vulnerability. With her best friend Ali , Georgie spends most of her time stealing bicycles, which the pair hastily repaint and sell for a few pounds. Quick on her feet, Georgie can be depended on to talk their way out of a bind when they’re caught red-handed.
