Tuesday 17 November 2026 at 8pm (doors open 7.30pm) at Haddenham Village Hall RENTAL FAMILY (12A) 109 mins Director: Hikari Starring: Brendan Fraser, Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto Synopsis: In this heartfelt film, Brendan Fraser portrays an Americam actor in Tokyo struggling to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig with a Japenese "rental family" agency playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients' worlds, he forme genuine bonds and rediscovers purpose and the quiet beauty of human connection. Awards: Reviews: "With Fraser as her figurehead, it’s certainly a work of broad and deep compassion. But there are self-imposed limitations that you’d wish Hikari and her co-writer Stephen Blahut would cross, if not purely out of curiosity." *** INDEPENDENT "A different movie might find Phillip stricken by identity crises. Rental Family, though, doesn’t give him much identity to start with beyond an artless sweet nature." *** FINANCIAL TIMES "As Phillip gets more intertwined in their lives, the plot veers into white saviour territory. Still, there’s a lightness of touch in Hikari’s direction and she draws strong performances from the supporting cast." *** TIMEOUT |
