Shoplifters 2018

I really enjoyed this one. It was a touching tale of love and loss, an exploration into the value of family and the importance of chosen family. Its a journey through poverty and the lengths people will go to in order to survive, the innocence of childhood and the corruption that can arise from even the purest intentions. This, so far, is i think my favorite of all the movies I've watched this year. The relationships and bonds are so well written and well acted, every potential dynamic and pairing is explored. This truly feels like a family unit, with the children being the heart and soul of the film, but the adults all bringing something so crucial in each dynamic. A less heart filled film would've ended much sooner, it felt like such a treat to continue to see more of these characters even after they were caught, to see how that impacted them, to watch the little steps towards the children especially making their own way in life. Every second of this film is dripping with love. Its devastating and beautiful.
