The title makes you want to watch it, but after a few minutes you realise it was a mistake. There is no meaningful story to make you think or that fits with the title. Perhaps it is because it is a comedy-drama that should not be taken seriously, which for me does not work. I did not find the drama sad or funny, and the same goes for the parts that were supposed to be humorous.

Although I did not like the film, its plot is very interesting and something I would like to do. It is based on the story of two Jewish cousins who reunite after many years because they decided to spend a holiday together and take a trip to Poland, the country of their deceased grandmother, to visit tourist sites and reconnect with themselves and their family history. During the trip, they clash several times, but they manage to smooth things over and continue with their plans, as they have joined a group of tourists who are doing the same tour.

These cousins clash because of their different personalities. David is a father, husband, responsible, reserved, and Benji is spontaneous, eccentric, uncontrollable, and free, with no responsibilities or emotional control. He says what he thinks without filtering himself and without caring whether or not he hurts others. At first, Benji seemed like a person without empathy, but then I discovered that deep down he was very sensitive and had no control over his own emotions, often throwing childish tantrums as an adult.

Spanish Version

Su tรญtulo te motiva a verla, pero luego de pocos minutos te das cuenta de que fue un error, no hay una historia de valor que te haga reflexionar ni que encaje con su tรญtulo, tal vez sea por su gรฉnero de comedia dramรกtica que no se debe tomar en serio, que para mรญ no combina, el drama no me pareciรณ triste ni gracioso y lo mismo con la parte que se suponรญa era de humor.

Y aunque no me gustรณ la pelรญcula su argumento es muy interesante y es algo que me gustarรญa hacer. Se basa en la historia de dos primos judรญos que se reencuentran despuรฉs de muchos aรฑos porque decidieron pasar unas vacaciones juntos y hacer un viaje a Polonia, paรญs de su abuela fallecida, para visitar lugares turรญsticos y reconectarse con ellos mismos y su historia familiar. Durante el viaje entran en conflicto varias veces, pero logran limar las asperezas y siguen con la planificaciรณn, ya que se unieron a un grupo de turistas que estรกn haciendo el mismo recorrido.

Estos primos chocan por sus distintas personalidades, estรก David que es un padre, esposo, responsable, reservado y Benji que es espontรกneo, excรฉntrico, incontrolable y libre, sin responsabilidades ni control afectiva, dice lo que piensa sin filtro y sin importarle si hiere o no a los demรกs. Al principio Benji me pareciรณ un ser sin empatรญa luego descubrรญ que en el fondo era muy sensible y no tenรญa control de sus propias emociones, con frecuencia hacรญa berrinches de niรฑos siendo un adulto.

In the end, these cousins get to know their grandmother's life story better and share anecdotes they experienced with her. They also express repressed emotions they had towards each other and decide not to separate again, leaving the viewer in doubt.

On several occasions, I was about to stop watching, but I kept going because of the visits to tourist sites and the history mentioned in them, the monuments they show, and even the music. Because of all these elements, I watched it until the end. I didn't see the drama or the comedy; rather, I felt stress and anxiety. It was released in 2024 and starred Kieran Culkin as Benji and Jesse Eisenberg as David. I don't recommend it, but if you have a connection to Poland, you're sure to like it.

Spanish Version

Al final estos primos logran conocer mejor la historia de vida de su abuela y comparten anรฉcdotas que vivieron con ella, tambiรฉn expresan emociones reprimidas que tenรญan entre ellos, y deciden no volverse a separar, dejando en duda al espectador.

En varias ocasiones estuve a punto de dejarla de ver, me mantuve por la visita de lugares turรญsticos y la historia que mencionan en ellos, los monumentos que muestran incluso hasta la mรบsica, por todos esos elementos la vi hasta el final. No lleguรฉ a ver el drama ni la comedia, mรกs bien sentรญ estrรฉs y ansiedad. Fue estrenada en el 2024 y protagonizada por Kieran Culkin como Benji y Jesse Eisenberg como David. No la recomiendo, pero si tienes una relaciรณn con Polonia seguro te va a gustar.

    A real fascinating story. Simple, fun, smart and human after all.

    I'm not a big fan of Jesse Eisenberg, but I think he worked well in the film alongside Kieran Culkin.

    It was a bit of a weird film though, like it wasn't quite sure what it was trying to say. It being about loss and connection, but not all of that really translates with all that goes on.

  • @iamchimary(69)ยท 445d

    Cousin's relationship is like a spoiled wheel that didn't start with this movie. The competition in life has done more harm. And that's why with their different personalities I didn't expect less.

    Que chimbo que no cumpliera tus expectativas, hay pelรญculas de drama y comedia que son bastantes planas. Lastima, al menos te gustaron otras cosas.

  • @mamaemigrante(77)ยท 445d

    Por suerte, hubo otras cosas que llamaron tu atenciรณn para terminarla de ver. A veces no se disfruta la trama, pero la pelรญcula se salva por otros aspectos, que solo un buen cinรฉfilo es capaz de apreciar.

  • @dayna199019(68)ยท 445d

    Que mal saber que no fue lo que esperabas, esa es la expectativa que tenemos al ver una pelรญcula, no sabremos si serรก de nuestro agrado o no, pero que bueno que pudiste disfrutar otras cosas bonitas de la misma pelรญcula, gracias por darnos tu apreciaciรณn sincera.
