Lola Campbell plays 12 year old Georgie Campbell whose mother has just died. To prevent herself from being fostered or put in care, she pretends she’s being looked after by a non existent uncle. Georgie makes money by stealing bikes and selling them for scrap. And then one day a man, played by Harris Dickinson, crawls over the back fence and says he’s her long lost father…
Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes 94% Scrapper is full of spirit, humor, and formal inventiveness that sets it apart from much of British working-class cinema. 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
Empire Magazine – Scrapper refuses to be pigeonholed as another dreary story about working class life. Grief has hope, youth holds the keys to everything.
