The New York Times

Scrapper is tender without falling into sappiness.

By Claire Shaffer FULL REVIEW

Jan 28, 2023

Watching Georgie embrace what’s making her vulnerable and realizing that doesn’t make her powerless is moving, and seeing this father and daughter connect is sweet. She, of course, will never let go of her fast-talking, hustling nature, but she now doesn’t have to do it alone.

Wall Street Journal

Aug 25, 2023

As directed with a wonderful combination of whimsy, deadpan humor and childlike exhilaration by Ms. Regan, the film is impish and full of bounce.

By Kyle Smith FULL REVIEW

Little White Lies

Aug 24, 2023

While Scrapper might not have the most original conceit, it’s a sweet, heartfelt take on the difficulty of father-daughter bonding, and how to be soft when you’ve tried to make yourself hard to avoid getting hurt.

By Hannah Strong FULL REVIEW

Jan 28, 2023

Regan’s debut rehashes a host of familiar elements from assorted kitchen-sink dramas and dysfunctional parent-child stories, painting them colorfully enough that audiences won’t mind the odd bit of rust.

By Guy Lodge FULL REVIEW

Jan 28, 2023

Scrapper isn’t funny or sweet enough to overcome some of its more cutesy leanings, and it’s not inventive enough to stand out from its peers covering the same kind of burgeoning parent-child relationship. But it hangs together, as brief and unsatisfying as its narrative may be, which proves Regan capable of pulling off a feature, even if we’ll need to wait for a second film to fully see her more off-the-wall ideas flourish.

By Jacob Oller FULL REVIEW

Aug 21, 2023

Charlotte Regan’s film is a baffling clash of two incompatible visions.
