A Real Pain is the movie of the year, so far, for me. Having spent a month in the Kraków area with a group of initial strangers, this film resonated on so many levels…. cousin relationships, grand parent favoritism, roots, addiction, mental illness, introversion in a group dynamic… all overlain with the Holocaust.
Eisenberg and Culkin were indeed the perfect cousinly ‘Felix and Oscar from “The Odd Couple”’
Big thumbs up!
