Mismatched cousins David and Benji reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved, Jewish grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the pair's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. Jesse Eisenberg and scene-stealing Kieran Culkin dazzle in their roles as the familial odd-couple, trading witty barbs and sobering ruminations on mid-adulthood growing pains, in this deftly scripted film full of humour and hope.
A Real Pain is a powerfully funny, emotionally resonant dramedy and Eisenberg cements his reputation as a gifted filmmaker. Witty, heartfelt and filmed on location in Poland, including at the Majdanek concentration camp, A Real Pain has an alluring, unforced sense of place.A REAL PAIN showing at: January 11, 8:15 pm
