Ramsden Movies Presents: A Real Pain

  • Ramsden Memorial Hall High St Ramsden, England, OX7 3BA United Kingdom (map)

Multiple award-winning comedy drama.

American Jewish cousins David and Benji travel to Poland to see their late grandmother's childhood home. Benji (Kieran Culkin), an outspoken and free-spirited drifter, stands in stark contrast to David (Jesse Eisenberg), who is a quiet and practical husband and father. Their adventure takes a dark turn when the odd couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

A Real Pain is a real treat, a tender, funny treatise on family jealousies and our relationship to the past. Simultaneously light and heavy, it soars on the stellar pairing of Eisenberg and Culkin. Empire

A finely tuned, melancholic and at times startlingly funny exploration of loss and belonging. New York Times

The writing is sublimely satisfying and textured, the characters persuasively realised, and the jostling, combative dialogue feels fully alive and refreshingly unpredictable, rather than a laboured assortment of words on a page. The Guardian
