3. A Real Pain
Written, directed by, and starring Jesse Eisenberg, A Real Pain follows an odd couple of cousins on a trip to Poland, where they hope to reconnect to their late grandmother’s roots and their Jewish heritage. Where David (Jesse Eisenberg) is tightly wound and repressed, Benji (Kieran Culkin) is a charmingly chaotic chatterbox, who’s quick with a hug, a witticism, and an out-of-pocket revelation.
The title A Real Pain cleverly captures the grief and decaying bond between cousins mourning their grandmother, while also nodding to the brash character Benji. Monica Castillo praised the film’s humor and Culkin’s performance in her Mashable review. A Real Pain stars Jesse Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin, and others, and can be watched on Prime Video.
