The master of cute-kids-in-tragic-circumstances has done it again! Koreeda is a master of directing children and bringing out these amazing mature performances and Shoplifters is no different. This movie explores the concept of whether family is what you're born into or the people you choose. It's about two abandoned children who are raised by a less than exemplary family which teaches them to steal and deceive but dammit these people have so much love to give and they share what little they've got. It makes you wonder who's in the wrong here and whether we can even know for sure. Koreeda has an extensive filmography and yet I want more, I can only hope he continues making such wonderful movies and he deserves all the accolades.
