A Real Pain

Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin , Directed by Jesse Eisenberg

Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

What the critics say:

“Jesse Eisenberg has nothing to prove; he has already staked his claim as an actor, writer, and director. But A Real Pain digs deeper than he ever has before—and it’s a really good movie” – Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com

“There are moments when you can imagine how the movie might gain in depth if it spiralled out of control rather than remaining a neat equation, but this never seems likely. Eisenberg is more of a David than a Benji, in other words.” – Jake Wilson, The Age (Australia) 

“Jesse Eisenberg’s perceptive comedic-drama explores various paths to dealing with pain, loss & suffering, accompanied by complex upheaval of self-discovery. Kieran Culkin will snag a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination to accompany his ‘Succession’ Emmy.” – Susan Granger, SSG Syndicate

Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Love Forever

Starring: Bryan Johnson, Directed by: Chris Smith

How far would you go to live forever — or even just slow down the aging process? This startling documentary by Chris Smith (Fyre, 100 Foot Wave) is told through intimate access to Bryan Johnson, a man who has dedicated his life to defy aging. Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever dives into the controversial wellness practices one man is using to maintain youth and vitality, and the effect this journey has on himself and those around him.

What critics are saying:

“It begs existential introspection on why we even have these bodies in the first place: Is it the body’s job to facilitate the life you choose to lead, or is the purpose of your life to service the body?” – Jim Vorel, Paste Magazine

Cunk on Life

Directed by Al Campbell, Starring: Diane Morgan

“What’s the point of it all?” is a question humans have been asking themselves since the dawn of time. But as we cling to our dying planet, working round the clock while we’re slowly being replaced by machines, now more than ever, people are desperately looking to make sense of their lives – before someone invents a computer that makes sense of it for them. This one off special will see Philomena tackle some of the most complex concepts to have ever been discovered, including Quantum Physics, Existentialism, Nihilism, Hedonism – and at least four other isms – as well as exploring subjects from the big bang to biology, morals to meditation and art to artificial intelligence. In her search for answers, she’ll also examine some of history’s foremost thinkers and ground-breaking creatives, from Dostoyevsky to Van Gogh, from Nietzsche to whoever came up with those signs in kitchens that say, ‘Live Laugh Love’.
