What to Know

Critics Consensus

Led by a scene-stealing turn from Kieran Culkin, A Real Pain is a powerfully funny, emotionally resonant dramedy that finds writer-director-star Jesse Eisenberg playing to his strengths on either side of the camera.

Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor This film is saying that you can’t will catharsis. It happens when it happens. Or it doesn’t. This seems to me a more honest view of experience than what we are accustomed to seeing in the movies. Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press It’s quite a journey for one film. All credit to Eisenberg, and his superb co-star, for making the road trip so thought-provoking. Rated: 3/4 Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence Career-best stuff for both Culkin as an actor and Eisenberg as a filmmaker, in ways that create genuine excitement for whatever the latter does next. Rated: A- Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... a slight yet affecting look at fragile family bonds and the ways in which we process subconscious guilt and grief, handled with subtle humor and grace. Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Amanda Landwehr The Mary Sue What can I say? I’m a sucker for a tight 90. Suffice it to say, that this personal examination of love and loss is well on track to be my favorite movie of 2024. Rated: 4.5/5 Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier On the positive side, Culkin and Eisenberg are playing characters they know so well. On the negative side, Culkin and Eisenberg are playing characters they know so well and have done repeatedly, right down to the identifiable speech cadences. Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
