Rental Family
SANTA FE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ENCORE SCREENINGS
Set in modern-day Tokyo, RENTAL FAMILY follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) who struggles to find purpose until 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.
It’s a film that runs the gamut of emotions, with Fraser delivering a sensitive performance that ranks among his best.
Travis Hopson
Punch Drunk Critics
This is gentle, crowd-pleasing drama comedy powered by Fraser’s heroic comeback. It won’t break your heart — but it might quietly mend a small piece of it.
Closed caption and hearing devices are available upon request.
