A Real Pain Synopsis
A Real Pain is written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg. Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) 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.
The official poster for the film was released at the same time.
Who isn't up for a depressing but funny road trip film? After last year's The Holdovers, I am ready for another entry into what has become a go-to genre for me as a sort of comfort food. Not to mention I enjoyed the last film Eisenberg made, When You Finish Saving The World quite a bit, and this feels like a deeply personal story he is trying to tell here. As mentioned above, Kieran Culkin is having a big moment and has broken out as a dramatic actor over the last few years. He has a way of bringing a heaping amount of sadness out of you while also causing you to die laughing, which is not a talent everyone has. A Real Pain feels like one of those lightning-in-bottle moments where the planets aligned and gave us something to sink our teeth into and admire.
Currently, there is no official release date for A Real Pain in theaters.
