'Scrapper,' the debut film from Charlotte Regan, is an uplifting, but predictable, story of a grieving father and daughter. Our sundance2023 review:
Quirky father-child pairings are becoming exceedingly common in television and film these days. Heck, Pedro Pascal has made his recent career capitalizing on this dynamic in both The Last of Us and The Mandalorian. There's nothing more heartwarming than a precocious child softening the heart of a less-than-perfect father figure.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY One day, a man jumps over her fence and turns up. The strange adult man, Jason , reveals casually that he is Georgie's father. Perhaps if placed in another genre, this could be where the movie starts to turn into a horror film, but Jason's heart is in the right place, and although he seems to be worse at being an adult than Georgie, it's apparent that he loves his daughter.
The two butt heads as Georgie closes herself off to him, and Jason, having spent the last few years in Ibiza partying, must adjust and learn what it's like to be a parent to a girl who is still struggling with the loss of her mom. It should be no real surprise how the story plays out, as Scrapper could easily be defined as a feel-good movie. But what makes it stand out is Dickinson and Campbell's performances as father and daughter.
