      Led by a scene-stealing turn from Kieran Culkin, A Real Pain is a powerfully funny, emotionally resonant dramedy that finds writer-director-star Jesse Eisenberg playing to his strengths on either side of the camera.

      Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express The ideas and emotions of the film are brought to life by a wonderful ensemble. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News ... It's a funny, sad, touching and relatable character study about a big-hearted, larger-than-life personality, the kind of person we've all known, whose emotional registers run very hot and very cold, sometimes at the same time. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Tomris Laffly Harper's Bazaar Understated, funny, and gradually heart-swelling, writer-director Jesse Eisenberg’s Chopin-kissed sophomore feature is as graceful as movies come. Expect to hear about this one in the next awards season. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A poignant, sincere film that's anchored by well-written characters and a script that’s filled with humor, honesty, and authenticity. Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net A Real Pain is a heartfelt and poignant film anyone who has an annoying cousin or loved their grandma will be able to connect with. Rated: 8/10 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Murray Showbiz Junkies Kieran Culkin and writer/director/actor Jesse Eisenberg are perfectly matched, and together they deliver an entertaining film that’s moving and, more importantly, truthful.
