"This is a great script with a
very well developed central character.
A charming exploration of the changing times via small time
thieves."
Stuart McDonald (Stranded, Summer Heights High, Tangle)
"Neil Triffett
has managed to make a moving short that has an honesty
about it... a difficult task. The great script and even greater
performances
make ‘Shoplifting’ a very easy watch. This teamed with a subtle
hand in
direction and visual simplicity allow this short to resonate
emotionally without
veering into the sentimentality of a syrupy drama. All three
actors embody their
characters fully and at no point did I question their
authenticity.
With such a tight script and excellent casting choices
‘Shoplifting’ was bound
to work."
