I found the film to be realistic
I really enjoyed "A Real Pain". It's about two cousins, played by Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, who travel to Poland and go on a tour that includes a visit to an old concentration camp. So the film obviously gets dark, but it's also funny and heartwarming. The cousins hang out and smoke weed together. Sometimes, their relationship isn't pleasant, but I can tell they love each other.Eisenberg also wrote and directed the film and he did an amazing job.
There are lots of gorgeous shots
The story, acting, cinematography, editing, and such are great. The concentration camp scene is poignant and respectful. During the film, I felt sad, at times. I guess I really cared about the cousins. There aren't any scenes that went on for too long.
I just love this film
"A Real Pain" is definitely one of my favourite films of the year. I obviously highly recommend watching it.. From Alien: Romulus to Road House, take a look back at some of our favorite posters of 2024.
