Chronology
The misfit cousins have come together on a tour of Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure picks up steam as the couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. When Benji and David visit their grandmother’s house in Poland, it’s where Jesse Eisenberg’s real-life ancestors settled in the diaspora… Benji Kaplan: Staying moving, staying light, staying agile. Benji Kaplan: The conductor walks by, takes our tickets, we tell him we’re going to the bathroom. David Kaplan: Bathroom. Benji Kaplan: He gets to the back of the train, starts heading toward the front, and we look for vagrants.
Benji Kaplan: Yeah
David Kaplan: Excuse me, are we late? By the time he gets to the front, the train will be at the station and we’re home for free. David Kaplan: That’s so stupid. Tickets are about twelve dollars. Benji Kaplan: It’s a matter of principle. We shouldn’t have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country.

David Kaplan: No, no, it was our country. They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap… 12 Etudes, Op. 25, No. 3 in F major Written by Frederic Chopin Performed by Tzvi Erez. 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.
are all great
So the movie is obviously getting dark, but it’s also funny and heartwarming. The cousins get together and smoke weed together. Sometimes their relationship isn’t pleasant, but I can tell they love each other. Eisenberg also wrote and directed the movie and did an amazing job. I found the film to be realistic. The story, acting, cinematography, editing, etc. There are many beautiful shots.
I just love this film
The concentration camp scene is touching and respectful. I felt sad at times during the film. I think I really cared about my cousins. There are no scenes that go on too long. "True Pain" is definitely one of my favorite films of the year. I definitely highly recommend watching it.
