I really loved this movie, even though it wasn't what I expected. I hadn't read or seen much about it before watching it and it was a pleasant surprise. I cried my eyes out twice during this movie. and now, after a few days of watching it, I realized that it made me see a lot of new things about myself. so try to stay clueless about this one and watch it.

This movie was a beautifully simple and complex film at the same time. I highly recommend as this was one of my favorites I've seen this year.
A REAL PAIN follows mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) as they 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.
Written and directed by Eisenberg, this film shows the beauty of Poland despite the tragedies that have occurred. Kieran Culkin is truly given the opportunity to explore his emotional range and gives an absolutely captivating performance. Eisenberg holds his own and plays against Culkin really well.

I would have put The Brutalist or Conclave on this list had I not just watched A Real Pain by Jesse Eisenberg. Incredibly poignant and touching portrayal of loss and how pain is reverberated throughout time. Kieran Culkin had me sobbing like a puppy.
I rate it: 5 bags of popcorn and a copy of Holy Rollers.

finally watched this after seeing a bunch of reels of Jesse talking about the movie on my feed and wow! definitely has second-time writer/director (right?) bits to it but the theme of pain is pulled in so many interesting directions here that the whole thing came out really touching and compelling. and i mean the dinner scene??

time will pass anyways.
soon we will be old and we will regret being in such a hurry in our daily lives. of course I understand (and identify with) that sometimes we are lost and some days are worse, some months are difficult.
but there is still time. there is no perfect life to be achieved. it is just life. and it ends. so enjoy it
