Fire Wally

A lovely and thoughtful story about the ways that everyone around us is burdened by weight we’ll never see. I have many fond memories of Brendan Fraser from my childhood, though not as specific as some of my peers, and it’s delightful to see him come back in very different roles but with the same kindness and charm. Didn’t go in the places I expected but I loved every little emotional turn. It’s a premise with inherent awkwardness but I think the movie is stronger for treating the clients of the rental family service with respect rather than just sneering at them.

Also, someone needs to bring me to Japan soon for riding trains and visiting charming little bars.
