Shoplifters | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A film that just grows and grows and grows. It seems very quiet, but you are absolutely hooked. Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Shoplifters | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express [Shoplifters] is a film edged by despair, and yet is life-affirming. Families may disintegrate, but love keeps us ticking over. Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Shoplifters | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Tom Long Detroit News Writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda fills the film with grace notes, humor and fine observations, circling and filling out each character while leaning more on innocence than corruption. Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Shoplifters | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) You feel like you’re watching the lives of real people as the story grows and sprouts. It makes the smaller moments of bonding, such as a trip to the beach, all the more charming. Yet it also makes the eventual truths all the more shocking. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Shoplifters | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brendan Cassidy InSession Film The best movies teach you something you may not have already considered, and Shoplifters might do just that for many people, especially families. Rated: A Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Shoplifters | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Kore-eda favors the intimate and subtle over big drama, and this film is filled with both touching and heartbreaking moments of affection and disappointment.

Gitansh G 5 star scale is not enough Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Tom F Intense look at a chosen family of discards. Beautifully shot and acted. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Vishal C Hmm, I do not know how to feel about it, enjoyed it tho. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Alec B Lots of people have explored the importance of the "families we choose" dynamic, but Koreeda makes the strongest case for it here. Its an immensely powerful movie, one that sees its fringe characters as fully complex humans. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Dick C It's a inside hearted feeling movie, Shoplifters...Sakura Ando's sayings in the prison is touching... Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review S. C The work of the cast, writing and direction make this one heartwarming yet heartbreaking at the same time. The family dynamics are so well created and the actors bring it to life with so much emotion that the characters become very likable despite their morals. I found the sets to be convincing and helpful to the narrative. The cinematography was quite pleasant and great in capturing some of the character moments. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
