Real Pain
Career-best stuff for both Culkin as an actor and Eisenberg as a filmmaker, in ways that create genuine excitement for whatever the latter does next.
A Real Pain
Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) 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.
