  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2025

  feels like i just watched kieran culkin and jesse eisenberg interact for 90 minutes. the characters are basically them irl, but i’m not complaining. some wholesome and thought-provoking moments. it felt quite disjointed at times, but it also felt so real, like i was literally on the tour with them and i didn’t want to leave poland.

  this was so cute and riz ahmed should do voice acting more often
