- vangh113. Januar 2025I don't think I've ever seen a title, much less a 3 word title, do so much heavy lifting. How David feels about his cousin, how they view what their grandma went through compared to what they face, and what each individual on the tour is feeling even if they don't recognize it as real in light of what they're seeing on the tour. Both Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin absolutely slay in their completely different roles. Both the subtle moments and the big ones are landed perfectly in each case. I love the idea that David will forever have an inconspicuous rock on his door step, not likely to be noticed or considered by anyone, and yet it will hold great meaning for him each day he passes it by. I like the idea of a small, hidden in plain sight memento from a profound trip. These are absolutely my favorite kinds of movies: Just spending a little bit of time with some human beings, learning a bit about the human condition.
- rg94002. Januar 2025A Real Pain is a movie that left me wanting more. While both Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin are co-stars of this movie, it really is Kieran Culkin's movie. Initially, it feels like he is just rehashing his role as Roman Roy, playing the crass and blunt asshole. However, he brings an extra layer of vulnerability and pain that boils to the surface throughout the movie, really differentiating the two roles and showcasing his acting chops. At first, the movie plays out like an odd couple road trip, but it becomes evident that this movie is exploring pain and the way different people deal with it, whether it be by bottling it up, being brutally honest and sharing it with others, or trying to explore the trauma of the past in a way to overcome it. There are some beautiful shots and strong writing, credit to Jesse Eisenberg's directing and writing. However, I left the movie feeling like it was lacking something, something that brings it all together. The ending is ambiguous, and I get that is the point: there is no single moment that can bring catharsis. Regardless, it still felt like it didn't land the emotional punch necessary for even that type of messaging, lacking something that will make me remember it. It's easy to watch and worth watching, just don't go in expecting a masterpiece. Kieran Culkin will be winning awards for this performance though.
- Scott Smith24. Februar 2025This was a simple, but very well done little movie. Well written and acted. The title refers to David's cousin Benji, his travel companion to Poland, who is both 'A Real Pain' in the ass, and a man who is living with 'A Real Pain' inside of him. A very good acting job by Culkin of portraying someone who obviously suffers from a debilitating Manic-Depressive disorder. Well worth a watch.
- Nick Banas15. August 2025I started watching this movie on a plane, and after 20 minutes, realized that this was a film I need to sit down and dedicate time to. I shut it off and went to sleep. Upon landing, as I was unpacking my things, I threw this on and gave it the attention it deserved. As someone who had come to Poland to visit to connect with the culture and history, I was excited to see this film. I really enjoyed this. Had I watched it on the plane, I would have likely dismissed this, but it deserves the awards it received.
