I put this movie on thinking it would be a silly, raunchy, wise-cracking story. I didn’t get what I expected in the best way possible. The movie is a profound slice of life that leaves you thinking about getting older—and getting wiser—but never really changing. In a good way, though. I think we all wish we could give our younger self a hug and tell them to live authentically. This movie does that for you. The script is rooted in reality and the performances feel like people you know and love. Call a close friend and watch this movie together. You won’t regret it.
What a delightful watch! A Real Pain is a story about the human condition—what it means to live, to grow, and to grieve. Riddled with effortless dialogue and poignant metaphors, Jesse Eisenberg’s script is nothing short of impressive. One of my favorites this year.
