It is always a time for celebration when we get a new Nicole Holofcener film, and that is especially true of her latest one that stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus. You Hurt My Feelings, which had its premi…
, a therapist who also is getting a little more vain in his middle age, wondering if he should have some plastic surgery around his eyes . They are the parents of 23-year-old Eliot , who are so close and trusting he can’t believe they still share each other’s food, even ice cream cones. So what could go wrong?
On to Holofcener’s main premise, which takes center stage when Beth overhears Don’s conversation with her brother-in-law, an actor named Mark , about his frustration having to read and comment on draft after draft of her novel even though he says he doesn’t really like it. This devastates her, but she keeps it to herself until it is apparent it has chilled their relationship.
Honesty also comes into both their professions as Beth tries to be encouraging to her students, not when always warranted. Don also faces telling the truth head-on with one warring couple who have been coming to him for therapy with no visible results, eventually leading them to demand a refund. There also is Beth’s and Sarah’s needy mother, Georgia, played with comedic perfection by Jeannie Berlin in a role that actually could have been played by her mother, Elaine May.
The crux of this all is, how damaging can our own feelings and opinions be before hurting those of the people closest to us? It is all presented in low-key but amusing fashion by a filmmaker whose observations of human foibles and behavior hit the bullseye every time. There is much to relate to here in this A24 release that should play very well on the specialty circuit.
