A Real Pain

strange ending ~ felt like a Woody Allen movie. I really like K Culkin & hope to see him in more movies. I would see everything with Jessie.

This film is goes deep into personal and family pain. Hits hard in areas that will make you tear up. Moments that stick with you, laughs and heartbreak. Worth a full price

I laughed and cried for the same reasons

FUCKING. PHENOMENAL.

Ok so he had an idea, spent maybe a day fleshing it out, then made a movie. Not much character development. More time watching uninspired car trips or watching people looking out the window of the taxi than actual dialog. At its core, this is a movie about a deadbeat that is using the death of his grandmother as cover for him being a poor lost little 40 year old that’s living in his mommy’s basement and blah blah blah who cares? It’s a shame that this movie didn’t develop the character beyond middle school boy smokes joints (such an edgy bad boy! 🤮) sneaks onto trains (ooooo such a bad boy again!) and, of course, drags his cousin that grew up, got a job, has a wife and child and has basically grown up and left the loser of the family to whine about why nobody comes to play with him anymore. The trip to Poland to see the house grandma lived in was just a crutch to avoid any real character development and fill the majority of the film with random uninspiring landscape and not very glamorous city shots, I believe, with the hopes that the viewer would impart their own depth of emotion or experience. This is the kind of film that stops viewers from spending money on going to theaters so they can see it free on a streaming service. At least the popcorn was fresh and good.

Very Boring Movie. Very little substance. Would best be characterized as “Slow moving Obnoxious”

This movie is very close to reality, too real I'd say. Nothing happens during the entire length. Characters are extremely uninteresting and dull outside of the two main characters. The plot seems very simple and flat but it's deep and so much is going on between lines. It's about people who pretend to care, but don't care. About people who think they are in pain and try to show it to everyone, but their pain is only inside their heads. About few people who daily endure a real pain, but they don't show it and try to cheer everyone else instead. A movie about how current world turns us into robots unable to understand or notice people who are suffering in front of us. About people being left behind without a second thought. It's a small masterpiece with how accurately this shows our current problems. Sadly the execution just isn't there. So much missed potential though. Extremely boring and unengaging, but the story is very fun -- the most fun is a few days after watching though. The act of watching is a real pain, though.

Disappointing - flat and uninspiring! Almost if the director was in a hurry to shoot this movie

A touching story about two male Jewish cousins who travel to Poland to visit their country of their beloved Grandmother and take part in a tour group that visits sites from the Holocaust, including a concentration camp. The journey evokes painful memories and some joyful ones too. Strong cast. A story of survivors.

Kieran Culkan was amazing!!!!
