Movie: Rental Family
What happens when a relationship begins as a performance and becomes something real? Set in dynamic contemporary Tokyo, Rental Family (2025) stars Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser as Phillip, an American actor whose stalled career and drifting life in Japan take an unexpected turn when he joins a “rental family” agency. Hired to play the people missing from strangers’ lives—father, friend, companion, confidant—Phillip soon discovers that this unusual job is more than another performance. As he enters his clients’ private worlds, the line between acting and authentic connection begins to blur. Warm, funny, and quietly moving, Rental Family is a tender exploration of loneliness, belonging, chosen family, and the comfort that can come from simply showing up for another person. Thoughtful without feeling heavy, it reveals the surprising ways people find one another—and how small the distance can be between pretending to care and truly caring. On Rotten Tomatoes, Rental Family receives: 87% Critic Score and 95% Audience Score.
Runtime: 1 hour, 43 minutes.
