Rental Family

Dir Hikari, Jap/US, 2025, 109 mins, Japanese/English with some subtitles
Brendan Fraser, Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto

A struggling American actor living in Tokyo signs up with a Japanese ‘rental family’ agency, where he is hired to perform a variety of roles in clients’ everyday lives. Beautifully written and humane, with little windows into Japanese life.

Fraser is an affable guiding light in this crowd-pleaser about the complexities of connection EMPIRE
