Feel-good film Rental Family to be shown in Kington next week

Feel-good film Rental Family will be shown at a Kington cinema next week.

The story follows a struggling American actor in Tokyo who finds purpose by joining an agency that rents out actors to play roles for lonely clients.

As he navigates complex, emotionally charged scenarios he blurs the line between performance and reality, forging genuine, meaningful human connections in a poignant, often humorous exploration of modern loneliness.

Rental Family is a 2025 comedy-drama film directed by Hikari, who co-wrote it with Stephen Blahut.

It stars Brendan Fraser and the supporting cast includes Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto, Shannon Mahina Gorman, and Akira Emoto.

It will be shown at The Old Picture House Ltd in Kington on Saturday, July 11 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £6.50 and they are available by calling 07855 254590.
