The moment Jesse Eisenberg appears on-screen in A Real Pain, frantically calling his cousin, we are overcome by flashbacks to The Social Network. And when the cousin, played by Kieran Culkin, speaks his first lines, all we hear is Roman Roy of Succession. In this funny and touching film, which Eisenberg directed, the sin of “playing themselves” can be forgiven. Eisenberg’s typically anxious performance and Culkin’s signature F-bombs play off each other to near perfection as their characters embark on a trip to Poland to visit the home of their recently deceased grandmother. On the way, the pair take part in a multi-day Holocaust tour. They fight, they make up, they meditate on the brutality of the Holocaust, and the trauma endured in their own lives. Packaged in a nicely timed 90 minutes, A Real Pain is an ebb and flow of laughter and feeling. —Jack Sullivan
