Memphis Movies This Week: ‘A Real Pain’ and a Hannibal Lecter double-dip
“A Real Pain” was written and directed by actor Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network”), who co-stars with Kieran Culkin (“Succession”) as a couple of cousins who take a heritage tour of Poland, which their grandmother had escaped during the Holocaust. (Courtesy Searchlight Pictures)
The big activity in local theaters this week is the annual Indie Memphis Film Festival, but those screenings aren’t your only options.

Chris Herrington
Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He and his wife have two kids and, for reasons that sometimes elude him, three dogs.
