With its not so sly nod to the loneliness epidemic, Brendan Fraser’s sweet crowd pleaser packs an unexpected, poignant punch.

The phenomenon has been made into a film before, but few have probably seen Werner Herzog's 2019 "Family Romance, LLC"...like one of those sentimental films Miramax specialized in in the 90's

Hikari delivers an entertaining and moving film that benefits, to some extent, from Brendan Fraser's superb performance to reflect on loneliness, the acting job, and what it truly means to belong when human empathy still exists. [Full review in Spanish]

Hikari knows her way around a character arc, building a story centered on the struggle with loneliness and the need for connection that leads to catharsis for the audience without getting sentimental or maudlin.

It’s delightful stuff, so much so that one can envision this existing in the same universe as the Paddington movies, for their shared warmth and universal charm.
