Rental Family (2025)

Every once in a while, a film comes along that quietly steals your heart. Rental Family (2025) is exactly that; a warm, funny, unexpectedly emotional story about people hired to “play” family members… and what happens when those fake relationships start to feel real.

Set against stunning modern-day Japan, the film blends humor, heartbreak, and humanity in a way that resonates long after the credits roll. If you love stories about connection and found family, this one belongs at the top of your must-watch list.

Why This Film Hits So Hard

It’s tender. It’s funny. And it’s one of 2025’s most quietly powerful films.
