100% Tomatometer 5 Reviews
SCRAP is a love letter to the things we use in our daily lives. This cinematic documentary tells the story of people who each have a deep connection to objects that have reached their 'end of life'. Together these stories convey a deeper environmental and human message about our relationship to things, the sadness we feel at their eventual loss, and the joy that we can find in giving them a new purpose. Things, like people, show a certain beauty in their old age. Like us, they carry the weight of their history and the markings and scars accumulated through their lifespan. With the loss of these objects, we are also losing parts of our history and the cultural memory which they embody. By showing discarded goods in a new and engaging way, the film raises awareness about the fate of the things we use and explores how artists, and other creative thinkers, can be part of finding usefulness in the things we discard.

Loren King Newport This Week (RI) The film is a metaphor-rich, immersive journey into a strange but surprisingly human world. It offers the chance to spend time with passionate, creative characters and a meditation on the things we abandon and the things we save. Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This is a film full of fascinating stories which will change the way you relate to ordinary objects. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia It’s both a fascinating insight into how we can re/upcycle the objects we use and a telling reminder of the damage our lifestyles is having on the environment. Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) The intermingling of decay and new life makes for an interesting conjunction of opposing forces. Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo Planet S Magazine A gorgeous, warm travelogue by first-time feature filmmaker Stacey Tenenbaum, the doc chronicles what happens with metal when it’s no longer of use -- at least, to those without imagination. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
