Jonathan Glazer hasn't made a feature film since 2013's Under The Skin, but his big return to screens with The Zone Of Interest has certainly been winning praise and attention. And so it continued with the 44th London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, where Zone took film of the year, director and technical achievement.
Yet it shared the limelight with Andrew Haigh's All Of Us Strangers, which won British/Irish film of the year, saw Andrew Scott nab a well deserved acting award and his co-star Paul Mescal go home with the award for his various excellent performances of last and this year.
Charles Melton, who has been largely unlucky at other awards ceremonies, went home with a supporting actor award, while some more regular winners such as Anatomy Of A Fall's writing team of director Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, plus Emma Stone and The Holdovers' Da'Vine Joy Randolph all repeated.

Hollywood blockbusters were shut out at the 44th London Critics’ Circle Awards, as “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” both left empty handed while independent films swept the top categories.

Celine Song’s 2023 Sundance hit “Past Lives,” another Best Picture nominee, won Foreign-Language Film of the Year.
Many of the acting categories were dominated by Oscar frontrunners, as Emma Stone won Actress of the Year for “Poor Things” and Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Supporting Actress of the Year for “The Holdovers.” Oscar nominees Justine Triet and Arthur Harari shared Screenwriter of the Year for “Anatomy of a Fall,” and Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” won Animated Film of the Year.

Andrew Haigh’s touching new drama All Of Us Strangers was the big winner at the 2023 British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).
As the calendar year draws to a close, we’re also inching close toward the season that will see multiple prestigious awards bodies, in theory, hand the best films of the year a golden statuette. The season kicked off with the British Independent Film Awards, also known as BIFA 2023, which were held in London on the 3rd of December.
Lolly Adefope and Kiell Smith-Bynoe hosted the event which celebrated British cinema, especially the slightly lesser-seen films with budgets far smaller than that of Oppenheimer. There were some terrific films nominated this year, and the roster of winners was as surprising as it was satisfying.
Andrew Haigh’s All Of Us Strangers was the biggest winner of the night, taking home a total of four awards plus three previously announced ones.

Charlotte Regan's debut feature is a delicately crafted and vibrant portrayal of the precarious life of 12-year-old Georgie (Lola Campbell). Returning from Ibiza, her father, Jason (Harris Dickinson), aims to make a fresh start with his daughter after the passing of her mother. The neighborhood they inhabit shines in flamboyant tones with vivid cyan, brassy, and lavender-hued houses on the impoverished fringes of eastern England, creating a visual contrast against the narrative.
The recipient of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic category at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Scrapper achieves an interactive quality by portraying supporting characters disparaging Georgie directly in front of the camera. This enhances the whimsical essence of the picture. Georgie, living on her own, pals up with Ali (Alin Uzun) and engages in bicycle theft. Her peers harbour resentment towards her, and both school and social services remain indifferent to her existence until.

Even by its own ridiculously high standards, 2023 has been one hell of a year for British independent cinema. Whilst Hollywood has been all but shut down by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, over on this side of the pond, it feels like the candle for British indie cinema – and our collective love for those who make it possible – has never burned brighter. As such, it comes as no surprise to see today’s announcement of the nominations for the British Independent Film Awards 2023 filled with wall-to-wall bangers that represent the very best that British filmmaking has to offer.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Charlotte Regan’s Scrapper delights within the first few minutes. Regan’s debut feature follows Georgie (Lola Campbell), a 12-year-old girl living utterly alone. She does the dishes, vacuums the carpet, and makes a meager earning by stealing and then selling bikes. She’s independent, feisty, a grown-up wearing the same soccer jersey every day. Georgie has recently lost her mother and she doesn’t want anything to change. Soon, though, her absent father, Jason (Harris Dickinson), shows up from Ibiza.
Regan’s story addresses grief without hesitation. The adolescents in Scrapper––Georgie and her best friend, Ali (Alin Uzun)––talk about her mother’s death openly. Then, they’ll go outside and play for hours in the grass surrounding their flats. These sequences stretch on, with Regan allowing the two to just be...

If someone built a stereotypical "Sundance movie" from spare parts, they might assemble a film resembling "Scrapper." A precocious child. An absent father. An up-and-coming star getting a real chance to shine. A sneakily pastel-filled color palette. An eclectic sense of visual style. A mixture of humor and heartbreak.
Charlotte Regan's freshman feature did, in fact, win the 2023 edition of the festival's Grand Jury Prize in the World Cinema Dramatic section. But that triumph is not because it checks all the boxes and meets all the criteria of the quirky little indie that could. Regan is not fulfilling the stereotype so much as she's undermining it from within.
The cinematic imagination flexed in "Scrapper" plunges viewers deeply into the subjective headspace of 12-year-old protagonist Georgie, embodied by the dynamite debut performer Lola Campbell. Before Regan even shows the film's pint-sized protagonist, she makes Georgie's handiwork known. "It takes a village to raise a child,...

It’s fitting that British filmmaker Charlotte Regan’s first feature — the charming Sundance winner “Scrapper” — follows a precocious 12-year-old who is startlingly adept at taking care of herself, because Regan’s got a bit of that in her, too. The London native’s childhood wasn’t exactly like that of “Scrapper” lead Georgie (played by newcomer Lola Campbell), who fends for herself after the passing of her mother, a dreamy if fragile existence punctuated by the arrival of her immature dad Jason (Harris Dickinson), but there was certainly a bit of Georgie’s spirit in those early years.
Consider Regan’s early cinema-going memories. During a recent interview with IndieWire, Regan was asked about her experiences seeing films as a kid. What did she remember? “I was too young for sure, but my nan snuck me into ‘Lord of the Rings,’ because the cinema we went to, you could...

Charlotte Regan’s Scrapper is a baffling clash of two incompatible visions. The film is partly presented as a glum bit of kitchen-sink realism, tracing the hard-knock life of 12-year-old Georgie (Lola Campbell) in the aftermath of her mother’s death. But it’s also pitched as a twee indie dramedy, showing that Georgie has gotten by on her own in much the same way that so many quirky movie children have had to function like miniature adults.
At its most serious, the film watches as Georgie cleans her cramped apartment before then going off with an older boy, Ali (Alin Uzun), to steal bike parts and sell them for money. She’s never known her father, Jason (Harris Dickinson), and then one day he crawls over her backyard fence and demands to stay with her. From such moments, Scrapper swings discordantly toward the cutesy, as when Georgie tries to...

Georgie is just surviving alone on the edge of society, when the arrival of her errant father complicates things further – in a bittersweet debut from director Charlotte Regan
There’s a tender sweetness in this likable, beautifully photographed if sometimes unsubtle and improbable debut feature from British film-maker Charlotte Regan, all about a fragile father-daughter relationship.
A 12-year-old girl called Georgie on an east London estate (played by newcomer Lola Campbell) has been orphaned by the death of her single mum, and is currently living secretly and illegally on her own in their council house. She is getting into fights, making money by nicking bikes and selling them to a local who keeps the spoils in a lockup; all the while she is pretending to her school and social services that an uncle named “Winston Churchill” is there with her. She has a best mate called Ali (Alin Uzun), whose...

After a buzzy premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, including winning the World Cinema Dramatic Prize, Charlotte Regan’s directorial debut “Scrapper” has a trailer. The 125-second reveal spells out the film’s premise amid periodic onscreen text excerpting various rave reviews.
The dramedy stars Lola Campbell as a scrappy young street kid who steals bikes to pay the bills following her mother’s death. While palling around with her partner in crime (Alin Uzun) and keeping social workers off her tail by pretending to live with her uncle, her world is changed when her estranged father (Harris Dickinson from last year’s breakout “Triangle of Sadness”) arrives to partake in her life. Uninterested in this sudden new parental figure, the 12-year-old is stubbornly resistant to his efforts. As they adjust to their new circumstances, daughter and dad find that they both still have a lot of growing up to do.

"Didn't think I needed you... And I don't need you to replace mum." Picturehouse in the UK has revealed an official trailer for an acclaimed indie film titled Scrapper, marking the feature directorial debut of British filmmaker Charlotte Regan. This first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at the Istanbul, Beijing, Seattle, and Sydney Film Festivals. A joyful comedy bubbling with hope, Scrapper stars Harris Dickinson (from Triangle of Sadness) and Lola Campbell. Georgie, a dreamy 12-year-old girl, lives happily alone in her London flat, filling it with magic. Suddenly, her estranged father Jason turns up and forces her to confront reality. It's a remarkably subversive film showing - what if a father can heal and get better and become everything he is supposed to be. Not the other way around, as usually depicted in films nowadays. It's really wonderful and I hope...
