Directed by and starring Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), A Real Pain follows estranged cousins David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Culkin) as they tour through Poland to honour and pay respect to their beloved Jewish grandmother.
Culkin and Eisenberg are both on superb form in this witty and heartfelt movie, presenting a believably complex and chaotic relationship, and the film will stay with you long after the credits roll.
