Best Original Screenplay
Supporting Actor - Kieran Culkin

“You’ll love Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin’s double act. This is a story that is perfectly weighted between bleak and warm, poignant and irreverent.”
★★★★★ Ed Potton, Times

“It manages to be ruefully perceptive and laugh-out-loud funny, often at the same time: that’s not easy.”
★★★★ Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

“It’s arguably a little slick, though that can be another word for smoothly executed.”
★★★★ Nicolas Rapold, Financial Tmes

“As a director, Eisenberg holds a preternatural understanding of when to exhale when it all gets to be too much, whether it’s Benji’s antics, David’s brittleness or the enormity of the Holocaust.”
★★★★ Oliver Jones, Observer
