I have a confession to make. When I hear about actors making directorial debuts, sometimes I think to myself: “Again??” I often wonder if it’s the natural progression of actors to want to do something they’ve observed their directors doing for so long. Maybe they’ve got gestating thoughts on what they’d do if they had the chance to run a show of their own. Sometimes, my beleaguered response is worthwhile. Other times, there are films coming from talented artists that do more than just act. Now that my confession has been made, we can get to the meat and potatoes of this feast – A Real Pain! By the time Jesse Eisenberg’s film came to Hulu and physical media, it had already become a sensation in festivals and racked up tons of award nods for Kieran Culkin, winning a Golden Globe for him and the film respectively. So how is it coming from an everyman movie fan perspective you ask? Find out and see if the film truly is A Real Pain.

So, how, you ask, does Here fare as it makes its way from graphic novel to fully fledge film? I can say in my intro alone, it just might depend on a few things. We will get into it inside the review along with the usual technical loveliness you all come here for! So what do I think of Here? Let’s take the writing somewhere there and see, shall we?
