Shoplifters

On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders are united by fierce loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family.

"Kore-eda has the sensitive, calibrated touch of a master safecracker, and he's a virtuoso of emotional and narrative buildup"
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"Cinematic treasure"
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Delicately observed and perfectly played, it's consummate, flawless filmmaking"
Kevin Maher, Times (UK)

This film is part of the Magnolia Pictures @ 20 series.
