In a working class suburb of London, a resilient 12-year-old has learned to fend for herself in the wake of her mother’s passing. In a modest flat, she earns her keep by stealing bicycles and with a little help from her neighbours. However, her world takes an unexpected turn when her long-lost father turns up out of the blue expecting to be part of her life again. Best known for her award-winning shorts and music videos, Charlotte Regan’s feature debut is a vibrant and joyful coming-of-age drama which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival.

Reviews

‘Scrapper is a solar system of a film, with Campbell’s playful and defiant Georgie shining bright at its centre. You’ll not find many characters this year quite as likeable.’
★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent

‘A refreshing change of page from the pervasive grimness with which British culture usually depicts working class stories.’
★★★★
Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
