A REAL PAIN

Watch Trailer Director: Jesse Eisenberg
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin, Will Sharpe, Jennifer Grey

Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland, The Social Network, When You Finish Saving the World) writes, directs, and stars in a new comedy-drama co-starring Kieran Culkin (Succession)!

To pay homage to their recently-deceased grandmother, David and Benji Kaplan – two cousins with different approaches to life – reunite after a long absence in Poland to journey through the landscape of their family history. It soon becomes apparent why the two spent so much time apart: their personalities are not exactly a good match, and old grudges resurface to make matters worse.

This fun, understated film about not being able to choose your family serves as the perfect vehicle for two gifted actors to strut their stuff.

A touching character study anchored by a lively Kieran Culkin performance, Jesse Eisenberg’s A Real Pain moves gently and smoothly but hints at an all-consuming darkness underneath.
