Understated masterpiece
Probably the most understatedly adorable movie I’ve ever seen. Shoplifters is about a ragtag group of lost people who form a family and rely on petty shoplifting to support themselves. There are so many beautiful, subtle scenes where the “dad” of the family takes care of the kids and teaches them childhood lessons, that will just make your heart melt. It’s an artful meditation on non-traditional families and it will make you smile as easily as it will make you cry. This movie should get more attention than it has, because it's a masterpiece.
