About Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You
Precocious yet sensitive teenager James has a deep perception of the world but no idea how to live in it. Finding no help from his divorced parents nor his older memoir-writing sister, he decides to reject the beliefs adults try to push on him, starting with the college career that is looming over his last summer in New York, and embarks instead on a search for wisdom through nontraditional means...
Directed by Roberto Faenza, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You leans on a strong ensemble — Toby Regbo, Marcia Gay Harden, Peter Gallagher — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
