✕ Remove Ads That becomes the most apparent through Benji’s outbursts. He’s clearly not okay, and he’s both the life of their heritage tour group and the one who makes them feel occasionally uncomfortable. David struggles to understand Benji, and vice versa, and they’re both trying to understand who the other is today versus who they used to be.
There’s a lot of pain they don’t know how to process, and their trip is both a healing moment and a complex one they can’t fully grasp, much less know how to contend with. Despite these shortcomings, A Real Pain is the kind of film that engages with heritage and, crucially, familial bonds that are strong enough but also falling apart. With personal and generational trauma at the forefront of the story, Eisenberg delivers a heartwarming film that strengthens family ties and underscores the difficulty in speaking about the pain between its members, no matter how close they used to be.
