Monster (2023) (Kaibutsu)
★★★★☆
Rumours, lies, cover-ups and maybe the truth – all are layers of the onion in the compelling Monster, directed by award-winning Hirokazu Koreeda, written by Yûji Sakamoto, with music by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Shoplifters (2018)
★★★★★
Worthy Cannes Palme d’Or winner Shoplifters, directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, is a wonderfully human film about families and making choices that continually misleads and intrigues.
