A Real Pain

Not recommended for ages under 12
Drama


Event Info

Two estranged cousins explore their grandmother's past in one of the best road movies of the year. Jesse Eisenberg's second film as director is a comedy-drama about two misfit cousins who go on a guided tour of the Majdanek concentration camp.

Eisenberg plays a bound perfectionist and, as always, does so with nuanced accuracy, but the film's brightest star is Kieran Culkin (“Succession”) as an irritating but lovable dynamo. A dialogue-driven film, which both actors handle masterfully, about inherited trauma, it manages to be funny despite both theme and location suggesting otherwise.
