Scrap

I admire the commitment to making Beth unlikeable. Even as the film progresses and we learn about her hidden traumas, the film doesn't soften Beth's rough edges. The beauty of the film, and Kerr's performance, is we find ourselves rooting for Beth anyway. Anthony Rapp has been one of my favorites since Adventures in Babysitting, but it's been a long time since I've seen him really show what he can do in a feature. He and Kerr have a rare, special chemistry as siblings Ben and Beth. Reminded me of You Can Count on Me. Scrap is charming and sincere.

Scrap, written, directed and star by Vivian Kerr is a drama who speaks about homelessness and infertility issues with great sensitivity. It's a great family story as well.

The film tells the story of Beth (Vivian Kerr) who is homelessness after losing her job, her pride to keep it a secret from her brother and sister-in-law and the guilt for the burden she's placed on her family.

Anthony Rapp, as Ben, Beth's brother and Stacy, his wife, star by Lana Parrilla, are brillant.

We really enjoyed this film and the fantastic performances of its actors. We hope it see it very soon in theaters or on our TV screens.

This film beautifully and skillfully intertwines its main story & the hardship that Beth (Vivian Kerr) faces, with the stories & hardships of her Brother Ben (Anthony Rapp) and his wife Stacy (Lana Parrilla). The connection between the actors made the characters and their stories so much more beautiful.

Scrap captures some beautiful places of L. A, along with some hard hitting places that go hand in hand with the seriousness of the story.

I loved how well the music is paired up with their scenes, and how the pieces of each music tells a story within themselves during those scenes too.

The film is a credit to all of its cast and crew.

I am grateful that I have been able to watch this wonderful piece of art. And would definitely recommend other people to watch it too.

Scrap is a film that patiently and wisely allows us to make our own judgments on its flawed main character. With this impressive and maturely constructed first feature, Vivian Kerr has announced herself as a major presence in American indie film. Her acting is exceptional and her chemistry with Anthony Rapp as brother Ben is real and poignant.

The final scene is tremendous. The violins swell and you think it's going to be a full on "movie moment" and then...it's not a "moment" at all. The film is like, NOPE, here's just a look, and the smallest nod that tells you everything. It really got me. Spent the end credits wiping away my tears. So lovely.

I have not emotionally recovered. I felt for all the the characters so deeply it hurt. Every aspect of this film was intimate and intentional and simply beautiful. Lana Parrilla and Anthony Rapp's chemistry was perfection. Vivian Kerr stuck the landing on all her events from the writing to acting. They knew exactly the story they were telling and how the characters belonged in their world. It was stunning. Scrap told the story of the pain and beauty of just being human. How desperately lonely and loved we are simultaneously. I can't wait for this movie to be on my shelf, in my home, waiting to be watched over and over again.
