Review: Shoplifters (万引き家族) (2018)
This movie was different from what I expected. I thought it was going to be one of those typical "heart warming found family" movies, but I was actually glad to see that it wasn't.
This is about a found family, but they are together for reasons that are not totally altruistic. The people in this movie are not wholesome. They have obvious flaws that cannot be explained away.
I quite enjoyed this movie because of its exploration into the themes of family and poverty.
