'To anyone reading, if you get a chance to work with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, grab it.'
In the film, which bowed at Sundance earlier this year, Menzies plays Don, a psychologist whose long-standing happy marriage to author Beth is upended when she overhears his honest reaction to her latest book.
“I just really responded to the [‘You Hurt My Feelings’] script and I like her way of making films. I like her voice, how she sees the world, how she thinks about it, how she writes about it,” Menzies told. “From my end, it was about getting on her wavelength and understanding — trying to get underneath what she had written. I was definitely stepping into her world and into Julia as well.
“She’s unbelievably talented, [which] really strikes you when you’re working with her. It seems pretty effortless. She’s also creatively driving the film as well, really collaborating with Nicole. And so they’re a real team,” Menzies said. “She’s very deft, she can do it all. To work on that kind of material, that’s very heartfelt, has real verisimilitude and believability, but is also properly funny at times – that’s a particular kind of texture, which she’s one of the best at.
“It’s such an influential show and so many people watched it,” Menzies said. “That story and that family do create huge amounts of interest and we as a cast are folded into that.” The actor says that he never met Prince Philip, but would’ve liked to.
