    A Real Pain

    ★★★½

    It was an interesting watch. Directed well with good performances. Tour groups create an interesting dynamic. People try to avoid confrontation and follow the flow of things. 

    Benji created uncomfortable situations but after the initial awkwardness it created a space where the group opened up and shared similar insecurities. 

    “You light up the whole room just to shit on everything in it” is a banger of a line.

    Watched this as an “Everybody’s wants some” sequel. 

    This was fun.

    Heartbreaking. Family trauma built up over years of being shutdown. Burrowing feelings while avoiding confrontation. These men were tougher, stronger and harder working than anyone but they weren’t able allowed to express their emotions to their parents. 

    Suppress and train. 

    Excellent score and original song, the wrestling scenes were fantastic. They did an excellent job portraying the the showmanship of wrestling. Cinematography and editing were top class. Workout montage had me smiling ear to ear.

    Favorite release of 2023.
