🎬 Rental Family -- Metreon

"Brendan Fraser is endearing in this fish-out-of-water tale."
-The New York Times

"Brendan Fraser excels as a failed American actor adrift in Japan."
-Peter Travers

"Rental Family is a thoughtful and insightful presentation of this unique and admittedly strange business of renting humans to help other humans. And it’s a knowing character study of a gaijin in Japan who knows he could live there forever and never fully grasp and understand the culture, but will never stop trying."
-Roger Ebert

🔆 Rental Family tells the story of Phillip, an American actor who finds himself adrift in Tokyo, struggling to find both work and meaning. He stumbles upon an unusual job: working for a “rental family” agency that hires actors to play the roles of loved ones in the lives of strangers — fathers, husbands, sons, even friends. As Phillip begins to embody these stand-in parts, the lines between acting and reality start to blur, and what begins as a quirky cultural setup slowly reveals itself as a deeply emotional exploration of connection.
