🗣️ Praise for Rental Family:

"Fraser, diligent in his delivery of Japanese dialogue, is a magnetic force equal parts goofy, awkward, bumbling and genuine."
— Sara Merican, Sight & Sound
"It’s the kind of film we need more of, as it captures people’s loneliness and need for connection... with a tenderness that I haven’t seen in a while."
— Mae Abdulbaki, Screen Rant
"A thoughtful and insightful presentation of this unique... business of renting humans to help other humans."
— Richard Roeper, RogerEbert.com
