Scrapper (2023)
9/10
Brilliant deconstruction
4 December 2023
Produced (barely noticed) by Michael Fassbender, one of the most experienced and reliable actors in the biz. It is an interesting paradox that, in a world where our leaders are determined to rule and organize every aspect of our lives (our carbon signature), the best movies these days are the ones with no rules, the ones that break the mold. Scrapper follows precisely none of the usual tropes one associates with this kind of story. That fact, along with brilliant acting and scripting, makes it a standout. The hints of a "Greek choir" at the top and bottom of the film hint at the scripting skills the producers could have deployed to take it up a notch. Wisely, in Scrapper, less is more. Restraint was the right choice. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
