Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express The ideas and emotions of the film are brought to life by a wonderful ensemble. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News ... It's a funny, sad, touching and relatable character study about a big-hearted, larger-than-life personality, the kind of person we've all known, whose emotional registers run very hot and very cold, sometimes at the same time. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Tomris Laffly Harper's Bazaar Understated, funny, and gradually heart-swelling, writer-director Jesse Eisenberg’s Chopin-kissed sophomore feature is as graceful as movies come. Expect to hear about this one in the next awards season. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film A Real Pain taps into the common experience of connecting with the struggles of our past and trying to move through the aching of our present. Filmmaker Jesse Eisenberg has a distinctly humanist lens that reaches deep into our hearts. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A poignant, sincere film that's anchored by well-written characters and a script that’s filled with humor, honesty, and authenticity. Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net A Real Pain is a heartfelt and poignant film anyone who has an annoying cousin or loved their grandma will be able to connect with. Rated: 8/10 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
