Winner of the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture: Kieran Culkin

Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) directs, writes, and stars in a comedy-drama road trip co-starring Succession’s Kieran Culkin.

Mismatched cousins David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honour their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

Causing a buzz that resulted in a fierce bidding-war between studios following its release at the Sundance Film Festival, Eisenberg’s sophomore directorial effort announces him as an exciting filmic voice, with A Real Pain likely to figure into awards season conversations.
