Rental Family (2025)

AKA: レンタル・ファミリー

Brendan Fraser plays a struggling American actor working in Japan who signs up with a rental family agency, providing emotional surrogacy to a range of clients, including father to a little girl and companionship to an old man in the early stages of dementia. This is a profoundly, deeply lonely movie that hit me emotionally in all the right spots. I feel I'm doing a disservice to it in my nut.
