Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin visit BFI Southbank to discuss their witty and heartfelt portrait of two estranged cousins honouring their roots.
Benji and David travel to Poland to pay respects to their Jewish grandmother. No sooner are they on the road than they realise why they don’t spend much time together anymore. Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin dazzle in their roles as the familial odd-couple, trading witty barbs and sobering ruminations on mid-adulthood growing pains, in this deftly scripted film full of humour and hope.
The host of this Q&A was Ian Haydn Smith.
A Real Pain is released in the UK on Wednesday 8th January 2025.
