Greetings my dear friends, it's a pleasure to be here. This is my first post of the year in this beloved community. Today I want to talk about a movie that I have seen recently and I liked it a lot. It is “A Real Pain”, it is an installment starring great actors whose faces are very well known Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, the first mentioned is also the director of the film. This installment recently made Kieran Culkin a Golden Globe winner for Best Supporting Actor and it was well deserved as his performance was wonderful.

It is a movie made for the year 2024 which has a running time of 89 minutes, it is coming to be a family drama movie, where 2 cousins who loved each other very much and were very close in childhood and adolescence lose their Polish grandmother who is a Holocaust survivor and asks them to get to know their roots.

The film begins in an airport where these two cousins meet to make one of the best trips of their lives, their grandmother left them money in a will before she died and asked them to please travel to Poland to learn everything about what she lived through in the holocaust and also to visit her childhood home.

I feel that this film goes beyond telling us something dramatic like the holocaust, it goes into the feelings and the directions that life is taking as we become adults and that some people for bad decisions or other people's causes are stranded and do not advance as they would like, where maybe that person has the potential, but some problems or suffering from a mental illness makes them stagnate.

Benji the cousin with problems (Kieran Culkin) made this trip an experience that will leave many with a lesson, has a somewhat histrionic personality but at the same time also destabilizes and is very intense in terms of showing their emotions, on the other hand David Kaplan (Jesse Eisenberg) is an introverted boy, quite prudent and very home, both are quite different.

Benji is a boy who even in his problems leaves a lesson to each one of the people who travel on this tour, on the other hand, his cousin David is somehow ashamed of Benji's behavior so he can't help but apologize at every opportunity to people, but also at the same time he is sorry for not being like him. There is a dilemma in all of this, but I do like the cute affection these cousins have for each other, the love between them always prevails, even if life's changes have somehow gotten in the way. I don't want to give you too many spoilers.

For me the movie is perfect, on the contrary, I loved it, only the end left me with a little restlessness and well I think that was what the creator wanted, it is a great movie to watch with the family, it gives us much to reflect and learn about the different behaviors of human beings. I give it 9/10 when you see the end you will understand me I hope you have the opportunity to see it! Greetings to all!
