A Real Pain Ratings & Reviews
- hea1h6 de febrero de 2026bit of a slog, but painful, not very funny and sort of felt like they were trying to go deep but didnt do it very well... kind of .. a literal real pain
- vangh113 de enero de 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.
- Doc Worm7 de enero de 2026A sweet sentimental road trip where Jessie Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, I assume play themselves. Both the leads and minor characters do well with this tight script. Bonus points for being a family drama that is only 90 minutes long.
- rg94002 de enero de 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.
- PatrikStar1 de febrero de 2025The Ending was Real Pain
- Scott Smith24 de febrero de 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.
- cultfilmliker23 de febrero de 2025Eisenberg writes, directs, and acts exactly like you would expect and Culkin goes for it all. Lovely.
- Thomas Barrie1 de octubre de 2025A real, relatable experience perfectly balanced with humour from two fantastic performers
- Mischa22 de septiembre de 2025Alot of talking and not much going on.
- Alex | Pop Culture Brain10 de febrero de 2025Honest, funny, and touching character study
- Marcelo Scatena18 de septiembre de 2025I liked everything about the movie, including the great performances, but left wanting way more from it. All conversation could've been explored more, just like all moments of tension and all emotional bits.
- Richard Scott Long16 de septiembre de 2025Terrific! I really dont know why I didnt give 5 stars...I enjoyed this movie
- William Hampton9 de septiembre de 2025Wonderful acting (and writing, and directing, and score) by Jesse Eisenberg.
- mr901512 de agosto de 2025Very touching, you should watch it.
- Dudu_Steel5 de junio de 2025Was ok. Didn’t finish.
