Event Notes

× Join us for a humorous and heartbreaking look at grief and family with A Real Pain .

Synopsis:
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.

Written and directed by Eisenberg, Culkin won a Golden Globe for his performance as Benji and is considered a front-runner for an Academy Award nomination. It currently has a 96% Fresh rating on rottentomatoes.com with critics saying:
A Real Pain is uproariously funny, quietly witty, achingly sad and excruciatingly well-observed. That's quite a trick to pull off inside an hour and a half .” - Daily Mail UK
