Benji Kaplan: We stay moving, we stay light, we stay agile. Benji Kaplan: The conductor comes over, takes tickets, we tell him we’re going to the bathroom. David Kaplan: Bathroom. Benji Kaplan: He gets on the back of the train, heads to the front, and looks for her.

Benji Kaplan: Yeah

David Kaplan: I’m sorry, are we the vagrants? By the time he gets to the front, the train will be at the station and we’ll be free to go home. David Kaplan: That’s fucking stupid. Tickets are probably like twelve dollars. Benji Kaplan: That’s the principle of the thing. We shouldn’t have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country.

David Kaplan: No, this was our country

They fired us because they thought we were cheap. Appears in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode 46.44 (2024). 12 Etudes, Op. 25, No. 3 in F Major Written by Frederic Chopin Performed by Tzvi Erez. I think the only reason I went to see this movie was because of Kieran Culkin. What can I say, I love Succession.

And I certainly got more than I originally expected

It’s clear that this movie was written from the heart, and Jesse Eisenberg’s script is definitely strong, with great dialogue and a constantly changing interpretation of the phrase. 39;A real pain.' Benji and David have really compelling arcs, and the other characters, while not three-dimensional, get plenty of time to shine, especially James. As for directing, Jesse Eisenberg did a good job in his debut. The film is well shot, and while there is a lot of variety, the film has a simple yet realistic tone. Eisenberg tackles a strong subject, and I think he does it well. I was impressed by some of the things he was able to film on location, which really hits home some of the emotions. But of course, the strongest part of this film is the performance and dynamic between Eisenberg and Culkin.

Both actors do a great job, especially Culkin. Benji’s character is really compelling throughout the film, as the audience continues to see the aftermath of his grief, and David’s reactions to it further strengthen their bond. Even though they are cousins ​​in this film, they really feel like brothers reconnecting. Overall, I had a good time with this film. I doubt it will shake anyone up, and it doesn’t have any moments of extreme catharsis, but everything it does, it does quite well.
