    Riepilogo

    Reviewers say 'A Real Pain' delves into family, trauma, and self-discovery through the complex relationship of two cousins. Kieran Culkin's portrayal of Benji, dealing with mental health and existential crises, is lauded for its rawness. Jesse Eisenberg's direction and writing are praised for authenticity, though some find the narrative predictable. Performances, especially Culkin's, are noted for their nuance. The film's exploration of the Holocaust and use of Chopin's music enhance its atmosphere, making it a poignant and thought-provoking experience.

    Should be 7.5

    I really enjoyed the movie for several reasons.

    1. It moved right along and was short but satisfying for 1:30 hours run time.

    2. Great screen play, direction and acting from Jessi Eisenberg. His role David was conflicted about his feelings for his troubled cousin Benji, and that felt very real and relatable.

    3. Kieran Calkin plays Benji, a loud, emotional guy who isn't afraid of voicing his opinions and can be a burden to other people but wins them over because of his charm and heart. His acting was superb and very believable (we all know a guy like that in our lives).

    4. It is a road movie and shows various sites of Poland and its dark history in a most unpretentious and natural way.

    5. Supporting actors including Will Sharpe and Jennifer Gray were also amazing and the ensemble cast had very good chemistry.

    I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good original human drama that is not over-dramatic and over-wrought which this movie wasn't.

    Touching and original

    I was really impressed by this movie. In my opinion it's a really original story. It's strength lies in it subtlety. It very accurately depicts the duality of people's character. The beauty and the shadow. I found it very interesting to see how what looked like "negative" behavior turned out to have some positive effect. How nothing is black and white. How being very direct also means being honest for example. It really makes you think.

    The dynamics in the group were also interesting and heart-warming to watch. It shows how people can really connect over a short period of time.

    Definitely worth the watch for those who are interested in the complexity of humans.

    A Real Joy

    In 2022, Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut, 'When You Finish Saving the World,' was released. A comic drama about the contentious relationship shared by a mother and son, it was not exactly a commercial success, though garnered some critical acclaim. Time's Stephanie Zacharek noted Eisenberg as "a thoughtful filmmaker, devoted to showing his characters as multi-dimensional, flawed human beings," while The New Yorker's Anthony Lane opined that the film was "taut with unhappiness but allows itself to be funny."

    Those same observations could also easily be applied to his second feature 'A Real Pain'. It follows two Jewish Americans, cousins Benji and David, who embark on a trip to Poland to visit their ancestral home. Benji is outspoken and free-spirited, standing in stark contrast to the reserved David. As they explore Poland with their tour group, they are forced to confront their relationship, revealing deep-seated pain and insecurity on both sides.

    On paper, it doesn't sound like a comedy- in fact, it sounds rather dour. However, to describe the film as such would be to do a disservice to Eisenberg's nuanced direction and screenplay. It is a bittersweet examination of family, both funny and heartbreaking, as well as a sharply written character-study tackling important themes. Through his deceptively simple, straightforward story, Eisenberg crafts a universal tale that many will find relevant.

    It is a film about family, about navigating the ties that bind- perhaps about the need to maintain connections with those we love. It is about more than that, though. It is a story about the past, and how we, as people, deal with it- past mistakes, past histories, shared past experiences. Through their journey, Benji and David confront not only their own personal histories but also the collective memory of their family and their cultural heritage. As they uncover layers of their shared past, they are forced to grapple with the weight of generational trauma and the impact it has on their present lives.

    The film is beautiful in its subtlety, Eisenberg weaving these story-threads unostentatiously. Moreover, he has a great ear for dialogue, and the conversations between the characters sound like just that: conversations. The film is not just a barrage of quips heavily laced with sarcasm, as many comedies are today. Although at times hilarious, the dialogue isn't insincere: characters actually have discussions and debates about topics of import.

    Furthermore, Eisenberg's characterisation is deft. Benji and David feel like real people, not cardboard cut-outs with one aspect to their personalities. They're not drawn in black and white, but in shades of grey. Practically every character in the film is a multi-dimensional one, and their interactions with one another brim with authenticity. It's a testament to Eisenberg's screenwriting prowess that every character, no matter how small or inconsequential, feels fully fleshed out; with a life going on after the screen fades to black.

    The film is also a technical achievement. Director of photography Michal Dymek's cinematography is as subtle and unassuming as the tale itself. He captures some haunting imagery, from Poland's cobble-stone streets and grim, post-Soviet architecture to the cold cruelty of a concentration camp. These visuals not only ground the narrative in a palpable reality but also evoke a deep emotional response, underscoring the film's themes of trauma and history.

    In addition, the music of Frédéric Chopin is interwoven cleverly into the film, becoming a character in itself, his melancholy melodies seeming to heighten the drama and power of proceedings. Further, Robert Nassau's editing ensures the film has a good pace, never wanting for momentum.

    Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg star as Benji and David, respectfully. Culkin is utterly terrific, playing Benji with a winning blend of charm and charmlessness, masterfully displaying his vulnerabilities and complexities. As Kris Kristofferson wrote, "he's a walking contradiction," who can light up a room as easy as he can drain all the life from it. Compelling and multi-faceted, Culkin's may be the best performance of 2024; so completely does he embody the damaged, charismatic character.

    Eisenberg is the straight man to Culkin's gregarious charmer, underplaying it expertly. David is the stable one of the two, but not without his own issues. Eisenberg brings a lot of nuance to the role, capturing the subtleties of a character whose outward composure belies an internal pain. Their supporting cast do equally strong work, from the likes of Will Sharpe as the cousins' tour guide to Jennifer Grey as one of the tour group; none can be faulted.

    In conclusion, Jesse Eisenberg's 'A Real Pain' is an extremely accomplished piece of work. Through its blend of humour and heartache, the film offers a poignant exploration of family, heritage and the complexities of human relationships. Eisenberg's strong direction and screenplay, combined with stellar performances from the cast, make it an unforgettable piece. A beautiful and thought-provoking journey resonating on multiple levels, 'A Real Pain' is a real joy.

    A Real Pain

    "Grandma Dory" has passed away and left her two grandsons some money so that they can take a trip to Poland and see where she grew up amidst the Nazi invasion and subsequent holocaust. These two are cousins. "David" (Jesse Eisenberg) is a bit of a shy, geeky, type who lives in New York with his wife and child. "Banji" (Kieran Culkin) is quite the opposite. A free spirited, thinking and speaking individual who cares little for what anyone else thinks about him. The pair clearly love each other, but the behaviour of the latter continues to rattle his travelling companion, especially when they meet up with the other members of their touring party in Warsaw. What now ensues is quite a testament to both Eisenberg's vision as a writer/director but also to the inspired casting of Culkin. He is the kind of holiday companion I'd cheerfully have killed with a rusty harpoon. Loud, brash, opinionated and sometimes borderline cruel as he imposes himself on the group swearing as he goes. Gradually, though, we discover that both men have shields up; both are dealing with some fairly deep psychological issues in their own way and even ought these may clash, there is still far more fundamentally connecting them that not. There are ample opportunities to see the sights of Warsaw, and there is an haunting few minutes at the Majdanek camp where shoes, thousands and thousands of shoes, make you shiver. It's potent and it's often funny, darkly so, and in many ways it slots nicely into the recent panoply of dramas about the fascination by younger generations in the horror of war that those who endured actually want to get past and forget. It also shines a light on the whole business of tourism around these monuments, and does make it quite clear that sometimes these trips can become a statistical box-ticking exercise, especially for Americans, who want to say they've "done" that. An architectural monument equivalent of a safari "big five". In the end I found "Benji" to be a vulnerable but fundamentally selfish and unlikeable character - but I bet there are many reading this who profoundly disagree. That's proof that these two did their job well and I'd recommend you go see it in a cinema for a couple of powerful and characterful performances.

    Kieran Culkin shines

    I saw this film at the AFI film festival in Hollywood last week. By the time I got to this film, I was suffering from a bit of filmgoing overload, and chatting with someone in the audience before the film began, I almost forgot what I was I going to see! But I was so glad I got to see this one! As you know from the synopsis, Jesse Eisenberg wrote, directed and stars in this great film about 2 cousins' journey to Poland to see the land of their beloved grandmother. Eisenberg perfectly plays a role that he seems made for - an uptight, nervous and dedicated family man who always wants to do the right thing. Joining Eisenberg is Kieran Culkin who plays the polar opposite of Eisenberg - he is garrulous, open, and willing to break the rules, much to Eisenberg's chagrin. Culkin's character easily makes friends with his fellow travelers and guide - again much to Eisenberg's amazement (and sometimes annoyance). The story itself is very involving, and you will find yourself wanting to join them on their tour. Culkin may be in the running for an Oscar on this one and Eisenberg may get a nomination for screenwriting and/or direction. So, I highly recommend you check this one out as soon as you can.

      Jesse Eisenberg wrote the role of British tour guide and historian, James, for his friend, actor, writer and director Richard Ayoade. Ayoade thought he would have been a bad fit for the role and his presence would have been too distracting for a serious drama like this so he suggested Eisenberg offer it to Will Sharpe instead.
