A Real Pain
"A Real Pain" follows mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) as they reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother, but their adventure takes a dark turn when the odd couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

This 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.
