Rental Family (12A) – 13th to 15th February

Running Time: 1hr 50mins

Director: Hikari

Cast: Brendan Fraser, Mari Yamamoto, Takehiro Hira, Akira Emoto, Nihi

A down-and-out actor living in Tokyo is hired as a token American guy for a Japanese rental-family company, leading him on an unexpected journey of self-discovery through the roles he plays in other people’s lives.

“Brendan Fraser is extraordinarily convincing as a marginally talented actor a few years past his sell-by date. This supremely sweet and touching comic drama from Hikari, of Netflix’s Beef, is the latest leg of Fraser’s thus-far judicious comeback tour and his biggest role since winning an Oscar for The Whale in 2023.”
