A Real Pain, which just celebrated its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival, is Jesse Eisenberg's second feature film as a writer and director. The acclaimed actor also stars in the project alongside Kieran Culkin, with the two of them playing a pair of cousins who decide to go on a Heritage Tour in Poland to learn about their grandmother's hometown. The story at one paints a specific family portrait thanks to their idiosyncratic dynamic, but also taps into the communal trauma of being descended from survivors of genocide.
