Vancouver, Canada (December 11, 2018)<\/strong>\u2014 Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV:TBRD<\/strong>) (\u201cThunderbird<\/strong>\u201d or the\u00a0\u201cCompany<\/strong>\u201d), a global multiplatform entertainment company with offices in Los Angeles, London, Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto, wishes to congratulate Hirokazu Kore-eda\u2019s film \u00a0Shoplifters<\/em>, for the continued critical acclaim, box office success and awards it has been receiving. Most recently, Shoplifters<\/em>was announced as a nominee in the Best Motion Picture \u2013 Foreign Language category for the 76th<\/sup>Annual Golden Globe Awards, which will be held January 6, 2019.<\/p>\n

Shoplifters\u00a0<\/em>is currently being distributed by Thunderbird\u2019s releasing division across the United Kingdom and Ireland. After three weeks, the film has demonstrated strong box office success in the UK and Ireland, with a cumulative gross of \u00a3405K (CDN$684K).In November, Shoplifters<\/em>was named Best Film at the Asia 2018 Pacific Screen Awards, and following its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, it won the coveted Palme d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

\u201cThunderbird is honoured to distribute Shoplifters<\/em>in the UK and Ireland, not only because of the well-deserved recognitions it has been receiving around the world, but because it is a compelling film that has connected with audiences and critics alike,\u201d says Edward Fletcher, Managing Director, Thunderbird Releasing. \u201cOn behalf of everyone at Thunderbird Entertainment, I\u2019d like to congratulate director Hirokazu Kore-eda and all those involved in creating the masterpiece that is Shoplifters<\/em>along with our friends at international sales agent Wild Bunch.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to winning multiple awards, positive reviews continue to roll in from critics. \u00a0Manohla Darvis from the New York Times<\/em>declares that \u201cKore-eda has the sensitive, calibrated touch of a master safecracker,\u201d Peter Travers fromRolling Stone <\/em>calls the film an \u201cabsolute stunner,\u201d and Chloe Schama from Vogue<\/em>concludes that Shoplifters<\/em>is \u201can astonishing, heartbreaking film that offers no easy answers to the questions that it raises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reviews from abroad are on a similar caliber with Lewis Knight from the Daily Mirror describing the film as \u201ca modern Dickensian masterpiece worthy of its Palme d\u2019Or award.\u201d<\/p>\n
