A Real Pain

Cousins Benji and David travel to Poland to pay respects to their late Jewish grandmother. No sooner are they on the road, they realise why they don’t spend much time together anymore. Jesse Eisenberg and Succession’s Kieran Culkin dazzle in their roles as the familial odd-couple, trading witty barbs and sobering ruminations on mid-adulthood growing pains, in this deftly scripted film full of humour and hope.

Nominated for 2 Oscars, including Best Original Screenplay (Jesse Eisenberg) and Best Supporting Actor (Kieran Culkin).
