A Real Pain (2024)

This week on Cocktails & Classics, we delve into the poignant and hilarious "A Real Pain," starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin. "A Real Pain" follows mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) as they reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother, but their adventure takes a dark turn when the odd couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. Join us as we explore the film's exploration of self discovery, family dynamics, and generational trauma. We'll discuss the film's unique humor, Eisenberg’s and Culkin’s captivating performances, and the poignant moments that resonate universally and personally with us.
