A Real Pain (CTC)

A Real Pain movie poster

Led by a scene-stealing turn from Kieran Culkin, A Real Pain is a powerfully funny, emotionally resonant dramedy that finds writer-director-star Jesse Eisenberg playing to his strengths on either side of the camera.

Mismatched cousins David and Benji reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin, Jennifer Grey, Will Sharpe

Director: Jesse Eisenberg

★★★★ "a multilayered look at generational trauma with poignant and hilarious complex chemistry from its leads; Kieran Culkin is fully raw, vulnerable, and authentic" FLICKERING MYTH

★★★★ "a hilarious buddy comedy about a very unfunny scenario... a terrific sophomore effort for Eisenberg" HEYUGUYS

"It’s a delight and a revelation — a deft, funny, heady, beautifully staged ramble of a road movie" VARIETY

"A frequently laugh-out-loud funny odd couple road trip movie whose emotional wallop sneaks up and floors you." HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
