A Real Pain
Synopsis
This emotional comic journey follows mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin), who reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. But their adventure takes a turn when the odd couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. Eisenberg, who also wrote and directed, has created a film that deftly mixes the humorous and the heartrending. Fueled by its witty and sophisticated script and winning performances, especially Culkin’s magnetic portrayal of the wild-card relative you can’t — and may not even want to — control, A Real Pain subtly transforms into a compassionate story of family, forgiveness, and resilience.
