Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg writes, directs, and stars in this touching, witty drama alongside Emmy Award winner Kieran Culkin. Clever and sincere, A Real Pain explores the joy and struggle of familial relationships and the bonds formed through intergenerational trauma and loss.

Mismatched cousins David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.
