Jesse Eisenberg's character is one I relate to more than I'd care to admit. hard to watch!
Growing up is hard!

📽marriage story was the brain child of this and the progressive lens. also...i so love it when baumbach portrays narcissistic father figures in his films bc i get so infuriated, meaning – it's undeniably accurate af.

I knew I was going to love this movie just because of the concept and the fact that it’s Kieran culkin and Jesse eisenberg but right now it’s the morning after I saw it and I’m sitting in bed crying thinking about certain things different characters but especially David, Jesse eisenbergs character said
I’ll tear up at a movie every once in a while but this movie really hit me because it is so relevant to how im feeling recently like literally every element of David and Benjis (Kieran culkin) emotional characteristics and their relationship with each other is relevant
My aunt passed away in September and I have been weirdly impacted by it since then and I have been working on controlling anxiety and depression for four years now with minimal progress and those two things, (David’s OCD and anxiety/Benji’s grief) are essentially what lead David and Benji to take this trip together so as we learn more and more about their relationship with each other and their personalities themselves it kept getting more and more personal to an almost unbelievable degree
Theres a point where something happens and David sort of opens up and what he says about not actually being okay but just presenting that he’s okay because he takes his medication and runs and meditates and goes to work then comes home then does it all again that really really hit me
It is such a perfect blend of funny but also deeply serious and emotional so even if it’s not as relevant to you right now I think everyone should see this movie

I would have put The Brutalist or Conclave on this list had I not just watched A Real Pain by Jesse Eisenberg. Incredibly poignant and touching portrayal of loss and how pain is reverberated throughout time. Kieran Culkin had me sobbing like a puppy.
I rate it: 5 bags of popcorn and a copy of Holy Rollers.

I drew this for a project a few years ago based off a photo of myself at 4 and my god, that’s a lot of emotion for four. The melodrama is a lot yet it has persisted. Along with the belief that one misplaced clip will fix a bundle of unkempt hair.
It’s the portrait that captures my essence the best.
