Selected Highlights
A Real Pain
Description
Jesse Eisenberg directs and stars in this funny yet deeply soulful story of cousins David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) embarking on a Holocaust tour of Poland in honor of their grandmother.
The legacy of atrocity is sensitively handled, but this is really a tale of friendship between polar opposites, between the watchful, neurotic types and the ones who change the weather in the room simply by walking in. Both actors (as well as a charming Will Sharpe as their tour guide) are superb, but Culkin's portrayal of the mercurial, brilliant and infuriating Benji (coming on the heels of his career-making turn in TV's Succession) is a live-wire wonder, that makes us understand David's dazzled but pained affection for him in terms of the quick, fierce love that a moth feels for a flame, even as its wings are getting singed.
