Film Summary: On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders are united by fierce loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family.
What the critics are saying:
Kore-eda has the sensitive, calibrated touch of a master safecracker, and he’s a virtuoso of emotional and narrative buildup.
– Manohla Dargis, New York Times
A work of such emotional delicacy, you’re barely prepared when it knocks you sideways.
– Los Angeles Times
A masterpiece.
Joel Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
The work of a master in full command of his art.
– Justin Chang, LA Times
A story whose ethical quandaries are presented with equal parts compassion and toughness.
– Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
