A Real Pain (2024)

/noise/movies | Link

Prompted by Jason Di Rosso's interview with writer/director/star Jesse Eisenberg. Two Jewish American cousins go to Poland to honour their grandmother who survived a concentration camp there. Kieran Culkin won an Oscar for his performance as the more unstable of the pair. Eisenberg himself plays a neurotic. Billed as comedic/cathartic. Not for me.
