In an era of movies so long they require a literal intermission, a brisk 90-minute dramedy is a breath of fresh air. Written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, A Real Painstrikes a delicate balance between the various highs and lows of the story and allows each of the main characters to fully develop, all while clocking in under two hours. It stars Eisenberg himself alongside Kieran Culkin, who has already won a Golden Globe for his performance and is now nominated for a SAG award.
A Real Paindives into family relationships, cultural heritage, trauma, and purpose while set against a gorgeous backdrop of a trip to Poland. And as our reviewer put it, "Honesty and healing are both the journey and the destination."
Searchlight Pictures released the family dramedy on digital platforms at the end of 2024 just shy of two months after its theatrical debut. Now, it's officially coming to streaming. Here's everything you need to know about how to watchA Real Painat home (and maybe even for free).
The Sundance hit A Real Painfollows estranged cousins Benji (Culkin) and David Kaplan (Eisenberg) who travel to Poland to learn more about their late grandmother, a Holocaust survivor. The perfect odd couple pairing, detail-oriented and professional David and charismatic slacker Benji have drifted apart after an inseparable childhood. The trip, which was written in their grandmother's will, has potential to bring them closer to each other as well as their family history. "Yes, A Real Painis a movie about remembering the Holocaust, but it’s funny and heartwarming, a rare combination when considering the subject matter," Mashable Contributor Monica Castillo writes in her review.
Check out the official trailer for a sneak peek:
It may not have the Hollywood hype of some other awards contenders, but A Real Painshines where it counts — critics and audiences both love it. Currently sitting with a 96 percent critic rating and 81 percent audience rating at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is being praised for its balance of humor and emotional depth. Not to mention, Culkin has already won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Male Actor and is nominated for the same category at the SAG Awards.
Our reviewer writes, "It’s short and sweet, striking a delicate balance between the heaviness of the cousins’ trip and the pair’s mismatched dynamic. And like many vacations, A Real Painfeels like it’s over too soon, but it lasts just long enough to avoid overstaying its welcome. It’s a bittersweet tribute to the journeys our ancestors took to bring us to where we are today and coping with the troubled relationships we may share with our present-day relatives. "
