However, the official synopsis shares that “the adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.”

Apart from The Social Network, Eisenberg is known for his work in the Now You See Me franchise, Vivarium and Zombieland.

He is joined by Succession star actor Culkin as his haphazard cousin Benji who won an Oscar and the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor in A Real Pain.

These weren’t the only awards that the film won either, as accolades also include the BAFTA for best original screenplay and the Critics Choice Award for the best comedy film.

Audiences have also been raving about the comedy-drama with A Real Pain scoring a whopping 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Taking to the reviews section, someone wrote: “[Culkin] is remarkable from the opening scene to the final moment”, while another praised: “Eisenberg tenderly and firmly directs the movie, entering the Holocaust experience through a comic road trip, speaking of modern life and several unmined feelings that continue to haunt third generation Americans.”

A third agreed: “It may be formally unadventurous but A Real Pain is a real treat, a tender, funny treatise on family jealousies and our relationship to the past.

“Simultaneously light and heavy, it soars on the stellar pairing of Eisenberg and Culkin.”

Another added: “The film is a triumph, delivering a story that transforms deeply rooted pain into something profoundly human.”

Speaking to Games Radar, Eisenberg said: "This is a story about how people change and evolve, and the way history changes and evolves.

“So they are trying to connect to their Polish history but have an almost impossible time doing so.

“In fact, when they finally get to the house of their family they’re told that they actually don’t belong here, and should take the rocks and go.

“It’s the same thing with personal relationships, as at some point the thing that you want from the other person is not going to be the thing they’re giving you.

"That’s what this movie is bittersweetly about. They’re going to love each other forever but they’re probably not going to be as close as they have been.

“That’s what the feeling of this movie is and it’s a bittersweet ending, but I guess that’s my take on life, which is there’s a kind of bittersweetness to things.”

A Real Pain is available to watch on Disney+.
