A REAL PAIN

November 29 – December 8, 2024
A Real Pain
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.
Dir: Jesse Eisenberg / 2024 / US & Poland / 90 min

“Understated, funny, and gradually heart-swelling, writer-director Jesse Eisenberg’s Chopin-kissed sophomore feature is as graceful as movies come. Expect to hear about this one in the next awards season.” – Tomris Laffly, Harper’s Bazaar

“Eisenberg’s rich script for ‘A Real Pain’ is the kind of nuanced character study that I could talk about for hours, but the main draw of this film is going to be the phenomenal performance from Kieran Culkin.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

“Eisenberg uses this cockeyed version of a road movie to tell a funny, moving, casually profound story about family, friendship, the weight of the Jewish past, the weight of everyone’s past and the different ways one deals with suffering.” – John Powers, NPR
