Jesse Eisenberg, John Green, and Kieran Culkin: How They’re Bringing OCD To The Big Screen

With the Oscars Awards happening tonight, Hollywood is shining a light on mental health like never before. NOCD team members Brenna Posey dives into A Real Pain, the Jesse Eisenberg film nominated for an Academy Award, starring Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin. The film explores OCD and depression through a deeply personal lens, with Eisenberg drawing from his own struggles with OCD, anxiety, and depression. Brenna also highlights Turtles All the Way Down, based on John Green’s novel, which delivers one of the most realistic depictions of OCD in film, and Pure O, a movie tackling the lesser-known but deeply impactful Pure O subtype. With Hollywood’s biggest night upon us, it’s exciting to see films that go beyond entertainment to bring awareness and understanding to real OCD struggles.If you are struggling with OCD, help is available.
