    A Real Pain

    ★★★★

    Well worth the watch. I really enjoyed the chance to spend time with these characters, relating them to people in my life and getting the chance to examine the same questions Benji and David pose in the film. Truely a wonderful pair of actors and an endearing story to have experienced.

    Love! Love! LOVE!

    This is the magic realism film I have been craving!
    This film has given such a endearing and sensitive insight into the Haitian mythology and culture. The director clearly put in a lot of time and thought into every single character, resulting in such a tangible and compelling story.
    I'm not ashamed to say I shed a few tears during some of the film's pivotal moments.

    Do not miss out on this truly beautiful story!

    ★★★½

    The film explores such an interesting perspective that I honestly did not know I needed. The mother is such an interesting character and her dynamic with the other family members is very compelling to watch. I think all the characters' journeys are so layered, but I fear that that is where I might have missed a few things.

    Overall I think the film is filled with beautiful performances and stunning visuals and audio!

    It ended too quickly for me.
    I would have loved to see more of the relationship between the son and his aunt from earlier in the film.
