A Real Pain

CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 7.2

Two cousins reunite for a trip through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother and explore their family history. As they travel, their contrasting personalities and old tensions come to the surface, bringing humor and emotional unease to a journey shaped by memory and grief.

My take

You may enjoy this bittersweet, character-focused family drama if you like sharp dialogue and complicated relationships; not for you if you want a brisk plot or a neatly resolved emotional journey.
