A Real Pain15
Cousins Benji and David travel to Poland to honour their Jewish grandmother’s memory. However, it doesn’t take long for them to remember why they’ve drifted apart over the years. Anchored by exceptional central performances from Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, writer-director Eisenberg delivers a heartfelt drama that seamlessly weaves moments of sharp comedy with thoughtful reflection.
🏆 Nominated for 2 Academy Awards (including Best Supporting Actor) and winner of 2 BAFTA Film Awards (Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor).
Reviews
‘This is a story that is perfectly weighted between bleak and warm, poignant and irreverent.’
★★★★★
Ed Potton, The Times
‘It manages to be ruefully perceptive and laugh-out-loud funny, often at the same time: that’s not easy.’
★★★★
Tim Robey, The Telegraph

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
