Member’s Choice:

Set in modern-day Tokyo, Rental Family follows an American actor (Fraser), who struggles to find purpose. He lands an unusual gig, working for a Japanese ‘rental family’ agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging and the quiet beauty of human connection.

Rental Family is a tender and affectionate drama elevated by Brendan Fraser’s star presence, with the goal to help a person become happy and spread joy, which is always a wonderful message.
