- A Real Pain
Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and a Golden Globe-winning Kieran Culkin (HBO's Succession) play polar opposite cousins reuniting to honour their beloved late grandmother in this deft and moving dramedy.
Written and directed by Eisenberg, A Real Pain sees neurotic, hyper-articulate David (Eisenberg, playing not at all against type) and chaotic misfit Benji (a scene-stealing Culkin, ditto) clash on a group tour of Poland for Jewish Americans. Counterintuitively led by a non-Jewish Brit (Will Sharpe), their trip takes in Warsaw, Lublin and Majdanek Concentration Camp as well as their grandmother's last home in the country. Funny and packing a real emotional kick, featuring an endearing ensemble cast including Sharpe (HBO's White Lotus) and Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing), it's a thoughtful, character-driven look at the light and dark of life and how to reconcile them.
"Jesse Eisenberg's sauntering Holocaust tour comedy is a masterpiece" ★★★★★ The Guardian

Fully recreating the creative volatility of SNL's anarchic, storied beginnings with its first stars John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Dan Akroyd and more, Saturday Night is a wildly entertaining watch and appropriately stacked with talent, including Willem Dafoe as an imposing studio exec, Matthew Rhys as George Carlin, and Succession's Nicholas Braun on double duty as both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson.
