The adventure takes a turn when the odd couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

The second feature of indie cinema stalwart Jesse Eisenberg as director (following on from 2022’s When You Finish Saving the World), A Real Pain has generated waves of well-deserved awards buzz, praising its cathartic exploration of grief, heritage and powerful remembrance of the horrors of the Holocaust.

Oscar nominated for Best Original Screenplay and winner for Best Supporting Actor.
