A Real Pain(15)
A comedy about two cousins (Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin) travelling to Poland to visit the house of their grandmother. Great cast and plenty of laughs but underneath some serious themes about family, male friendship and growing older are delivered with a light touch, great dialogue and in wonderful locations.
Two estranged cousins reunite for a tour through Poland to honour their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the pair’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.
The film effortlessly walks the tonal tightrope about cousins on a holocaust tour to create a masterpiece without really trying. Oscar for best supporting actor.
Director(s): Jesse Eisenberg. Run time: 90 mins

Eric Ravilious - Drawn To War
ERIC RAVILIOUS – DRAWN TO WAR a Margy Kinmonth film, is a true story. One of Britain’s greatest landscape artists, Eric Ravilious, is killed in a plane crash while on commission as Official War Artist in Iceland in 1942.
His life is as compelling and enigmatic as his art, set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspire him. This film brings to life this unique and still grossly undervalued British artist caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago.
Told in his own words through previously unseen private correspondence, made with the blessing of the Ravilious estate.
Shot entirely on location in UK, Portugal and Ireland, the film asks what it is to be a war artist, featuring Ai Weiwei, Alan Bennett, Grayson Perry, Robert Macfarlane and many more.
