Two estranged cousins take a tour of Poland following the death of their Jewish grandmother. Benji (Kieran Culkin) is the driving dominant personality, outgoing and intense, while David (Jesse Eisenberg) is more buttoned-up and tries to keep his emotions in check. It's hard to sell this movie to others, but I found it very relaxing despite the tough thematic issues at hand. It's very open, honest and raw, and I can relate with both characters in different ways. It's a nice break from movies that have so much going on in them, to just take some time out and give yourself a breather from the grind of life.
