You Hurt My Feelings review: Julia Louis-Dreyfus shines in this low-stakes jewel
A novelist's longstanding marriage is suddenly upended when she overhears her husband giving his honest reaction to her latest book.
There’s a wonderful little moment in the middle of the film; Beth and her sister Sarah meet at their mother Georgia’s apartment for lunch. The scene lays the groundwork for sitcom shenanigans, especially with the deadpan, slack-jawed Georgia swooping into the dining room. The trio chit-chat and Beth says she’d like to take some potato salad with her. Despite a surfeit of Tupperware-style products, Mom suggests she just plop some of the stuff directly into some aluminum foil and carry it home.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a treasure as always, basically plays it straight and is terrific. She’s a caring mother, teacher, and spouse, and probably a good writer, too. It’s impossible not to like her. The character is also smart enough to know that sheAdvertisement Tobias Menzies is hilarious in the more passive role. Did he really do anything so wrong? The two of them try to work through this episode but there are other issues at play, as there are with any aging couple. The funniest scenes are actually of Don at work, especially with David Cross and Amber Tamblyn as a miserable married couple seeking his counseling.
to remind you. Luckily things basically work out in the end and it only takes 93 minutes. Nothing about this hurts at all.
