You Hurt My Feelings

A killer cast reminds us that all loving relationships are built on a foundation of deception.

Amazing movie! It's cute and authentic.

Nicole Holofcener has a way of exposing the nuance of the classes. In this case we're dealing with a rich married couple of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzies in NYC and the duo have a fantastic chemistry. Holofcener takes a familiar story and makes it real and fresh. If you're in the upper crust you may not even understand how the film subtly is mocking and self-aware. A fantastic date-night movie for the happy married couple! Final Score: 7/10

It has its merits, but lack the spark of some earlier Holofcener movies. There are some funny scenes and an early set-up (buying socks) that has great potential but disappointingly goes nowhere. The husband character is so bland it is kind of annoying that he takes up so much time. The problems these folks have are exceptionally minor, ordinary and normal. Which I guess is the point but then you need some characterizations or dialogue or some twist or angle that isn't here. JLD in the lead is fine, but she made me miss Catherine Keener from other films by this director. A film which, if nothing else, succeeds in making NYC look boring.

"You Hurt My Feelings" might seem slow to kick off, but it evolves into a captivating and thought-provoking narrative. Led by the incomparable Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Beth, the film is made up of a stellar cast. However, the true gem is Jeannie Berlin's portrayal of Beth's mother, Georgia—an underrated actress who shines in her role. The story unfolds with multiple layers, adding depth to the overall experience. The humor is subtly woven throughout, delivered with wit and finesse that avoids feeling forced. While the initial pace may deter some, perseverance should leave you with a satisfying journey. Stick with it, and you'll discover its worth.

Boring, couldn't care less about any of the characters. If this is life, I am rooting for the zombie apocalypse.

A subtle comedy about how nobody is effectively "adulting" anymore.

Very well written with sharp insightful dialogue and I appreciate the relatively unique take focussing a movie on disillusioned 50 somethings: however, that is also the problem. It could easily have been titled "First World Problems" given how self-indulgent the affluent NYC characters are in their interactions. Unfortunately the writing cannot be considered independent of the plot and themes which are banal.

The only thing redeeming was the aspect of people with loving relationships. From the standpoint of a movie about relationships and friendships it reminded me of the movie Notting Hill, except this movie was not funny and not too interesting but Notting Hill was hysterical and touching.

Not much is happening here. I can appreciate a slow movie so my negative rating is not because there were no car chases. The situations are similar to what we see in recent Woody Allen movies, minus the wit.
