Misfit cousins reunite for a tour of Poland to honor their beloved grandmother, but old tensions resurface as their family history unravels… When Benji and David visit their grandmother’s home in Poland, the location is where Jesse Eisenberg’s real-life ancestors settled in the diaspora. Benji Kaplan: We stay moving, we stay light, we stay agile. David Kaplan: Yeah. Benji Kaplan: The conductor will come by, he takes tickets, we tell him we’re going to the bathroom. David Kaplan: Bathroom. Benji Kaplan: He gets to the back of the train, starts walking toward the front, looking for stragglers. David Kaplan: Sorry, are we the stragglers? Benji Kaplan: Yeah. By the time he gets to the front, the train will be at the station and we’re free. David Kaplan: That’s so stupid. Tickets are probably like twelve dollars. Benji Kaplan: That’s the way it works. We don’t have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country. David Kaplan: No, it’s not, this was our country. They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap.. Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #46.44 (2024). 12 Etudes, Op. 25, no. 3 in F major, written by Frederic Chopin, performed by Zvi Erez. I saw this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Before that, Jesse Eisenberg made When You’re Done Saving the World which was interesting but unfortunately a bit boring. Here, Eisenberg’s direction and screenplay for this film show that he has improved significantly as many of the characters are interesting and engaging, have good dialogue conversations and great performances, especially from Kieran Culkin who steals the show throughout the film. The story explores family history and complex relationships, as each of the themes and research into the themes were handled well, and it was fun, emotional, and engaging to watch. Including beautiful camerawork, a good soundtrack, and conversations that felt real, genuine, and engaging to watch. Eisenberg’s approach to chemistry, structure, and pacing was good, as he created a really good, compelling, and personal story about family history and the true meanings of connections and relationships. There were some soundtrack choices that felt a little out of place. But overall, Eisenberg has improved, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else he can bring to the present day. From Alien: Romulus to Road House, take a look back at some of our favorite posters from 2024.
