Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and Kieran Culkin (HBO’s Succession) play polar opposite cousins reuniting to honour their beloved late grandmother in this deft and moving dramedy.
Written and directed by Eisenberg, A Real Pain sees neurotic, hyper-articulate David (Eisenberg, playing not at all against type) and chaotic misfit Benji (a scene-stealing Culkin, ditto) clash on a group trip for Jewish Americans that’s counterintuitively led by a non-Jewish Brit (Will Sharpe) and takes in Warsaw, Lublin and Majdanek Concentration Camp as well as their grandmother’s last home in Poland. Funny and packing a real emotional kick, featuring an endearing ensemble cast including Will Sharpe (HBO’s White Lotus) and Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing), it’s a thoughtful, character-driven look at the light and dark of life and how to reconcile them.
