I enjoyed it more than Parasite

Both were great, but I prefer Parasite.

Came here to post the exact same thing. Better than Parasite for me.

Quite an amazing film! Parasite is good too but I think this is better and has a more emotional core. The director also directed Maborosi, one of my favorite films (about a young widow dealing with unexpected loss of her husband).

I’d give Parasite the slight edge but both are wonderful movies.

Kore-eda is one of the greatest filmmakers currently working… in many filmographies Shoplifters would be a career-high, yet I’d only rank it fourth or fifth among his generally exceptional output.

He’s the best director of child actors, bar none.
