'A Real Pain' Review: Kieran Culkin Is a Real Star in Jesse Eisenberg's Stellar Dramedy
The film revolves around two cousins on a Holocaust tour after the death of their grandmother.
Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) returns to the director's chair with his second directorial feature, A Real Pain. The movie has also cemented Eisenberg's co-star, Kieran Culkin (Succession), as the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor in this year's Oscar race.
The dramedy follows estranged cousins David and Benji, who embark on a Holocaust tour in Poland to honor their recently deceased grandmother.

The two join a tour group where David becomes quietly more and more agitated by Benji's eccentric behavior, while simultaneously becoming closer once more with him.
The movie also stars Will Sharpe (The White Lotus), Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing), Kurt Egyiawan (House of the Dragon), Liza Sadovy (A Small Light), and Daniel Oreskes (Law & Order: Organized Crime).
