A Real Pain - Oscar Sunday

Nominated for two Oscars: Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. A Real Pain follows two Jewish-American cousins, David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin), who are very different from each other.

A Real Pain has garnered widespread acclaim, with notable praise for Kieran Culkin's (Succession) performance, described as a "career highlight." Written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, the film has received critical acclaim for its emotionally resonant blend of humor and drama. The film has received four Golden Globe nominations, including Best Picture. At the Sundance Film Festival, Eisenberg's directorial debut also won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. The film has also won awards at several other international film festivals.
