We’ve got a double bill for you this week! Starting with A Real Pain, directed and written by Jesse Eisenberg,a buddy comedy road movie that looks at the (mis)adventures of two cousins exploring Poland after the passing of their late grandmother. Lauded for its performances and bittersweet tone, the movie is also up for two Academy Awards. And on a separate note and just in time for Valentine’s Day, the latest installment of Bridget Jones is out on the big screen, seeing our heroine tackle middle age and widowhood. We review both films, before pivoting into a Take Two question about the We discuss the movie, and whether it works for us, before pivoting into a Take Two that’s all about caustic and stressful on-screen family dynamics, and why they’re so compelling.
