In A Real Pain, David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) are cousins hoping to honour their grandmother by undertaking a tour through Poland. But as soon as they reunite, old tensions surface.
Boasting a Rotten Tomatoes critic rating of 96 percent and an audience score of 81 per cent, this buddy road comedy/drama is attracting attention for two reasons.
First, it received a 2025 Oscar nomination. Secondly, Jessie Eisenberg, best known as an actor (Zombieland, The Social Network, Now You See Me, Batman V Superman) wrote and directed the film.
Critics have praised the movie’s humour, intelligence, sincerity and simplicity. You can watch A Real Pain in cinemas today.
