How We Seeez It! Episode 338, Rental Family (2025)

“Sometimes the story we tell ourselves becomes the truth.” — Aiko Nakajima

Writer and director Hikari’s story explores companionship and personal connection, along with the exceptional emotional authenticity of Brendan Fraser’s performance. The movie’s touching exploration of loneliness and human connection in modern life, or at least modern Japan, makes it enjoyable and engaging, and will have you contemplating ideas about culture and your own connections.
