Kieran Culkin delivers his Oscar-winning performance in the very funny Holocaust remembrance tale, plus a truly gobsmacking film about a man being duped by his grifter mother

How the Holocaust echoes down the generations is the core concern of this deceptively light-hearted comedy drama from writer-director Jesse Eisenberg. He also stars as David, a Jewish American who joins his extrovert cousin Benji (Oscar winner Kieran Culkin) in Poland for a tour of sites associated with the genocide – funded by their beloved late grandmother. The men’s fluctuating relationship is a source of quick-witted humour but also great drama. Benji’s scattershot attempts to honour the traumatic events, alongside the more repressed David’s reluctance to open up to his once-close relative, give the film an emotional pull that’s both historical and personal.
