Featured review
I just finished this film and I have to say I'm surprised reading some of the bad reviews about it, I know film perception is subjective but I don't understand how someone could dislike this film. It was so interesting to me, and the thing is, nothing big really happens, you just follow these two cousins along their trip, it's normal, it's almost casual. There are not going to explain everything to you because there's no need for it. We have access to the superficial, to the bare minimum because that how the characters relate to each other, there so much they don't understand and so much that they don't say. The performances are all incredibly, especially Culkin. I was left crying by the end. Maybe you need to have dealt with depression to connect with it more. Maybe you need to have seen someone you love survive (or not) this painful illness. But I'm happy for this type of movies to exist. This stories also need to be told. As rare and unfitted for some people may seem.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJesse Eisenberg wrote the role of British tour guide and historian, James, for his friend, actor, writer and director Richard Ayoade. Ayoade thought he would have been a bad fit for the role and his presence would have been too distracting for a serious drama like this so he suggested Eisenberg offer it to Will Sharpe instead.
- GoofsThere are no direct trains from Warsaw to Krasnik. You have to change in Lublin.
- Quotes
Marcia: Last year my daughter married a very rich man.
Benji Kaplan: Oh, fuck.
Marcia: And she's incapable of having a conversation with any depth anymore.
Benji Kaplan: Well, yeah, of course. Money's like fucking heroin for boring people.
