Jesse Eisenberg's critically acclaimed comedy-drama, 'A Real Pain', is set to premiere on Hulu on January 16th. The film follows two cousins who travel to Poland to honor their grandmother, exploring their family history and confronting their own complexities along the way.
Searchlight and Hulu are officially bringing Jesse Eisenberg 's comedy-drama tour home. His new film A Real Pain , which marks his second directorial effort following his 2022 debut When You Finish Saving the World, has been earning near-universal praise since its debut at Sundance nearly a year ago, thanks to stellar performances and writing surrounding two very different cousins who head to Poland to honor their beloved grandmother.
Coming shortly after the emotional feature scored four Golden Globe nominations and a win for Kieran Culkin in a supporting role, it is now about to hit streaming on the Disney-owned platform starting later this week on January 16, before award season gets into full swing. Eisenberg pulls triple duty for A Real Pain, writing, directing, and starring in the title, which takes inspiration from his family history. Specifically, the story is based on the connection between him and his great-aunt and even features the house she grew up in for a pivotal set piece. He and Culkin share the screen as David and Benjy, one a reserved father and husband and the other an eccentric free spirit, who reconnect on their tour to explore their heritage after their grandmother's passing. They embark on a Holocaust tour through Poland, getting in touch with the suffering of their ancestors as they come to terms with their loss. Their journey takes a turn, however, as old tensions and demons resurface that make their time together all the more awkward. While the duo of Eisenberg and Culkin earned much of the praise in their first official team-up, they also had a solid supporting cast surrounding them. Will Sharpe served as the leader of the tour group with other accompanying members including Jennifer Grey, Liza Sadovy, Daniel Oreskes, and Kurt Egyiawan, the latter of whom was also based on a real-life friend of Eisenberg's
