Review of You Hurt My Feelings (2023) by Moviemitch96 — 27 May 2023
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Tobias Menzies star as a married couple who find themselves in an awkward impasse when she overhears him criticizing her latest book, causing their friends, family, and fellow couples around them to reexamine their honest feelings towards each other as well.
It's a rather simple and straightforward comedy, but that's what ends up making it so enjoyable and it's undeniably full of heart, charm, and some genuinely funny moments, even if some of the humorous scenes and moments are played a little too safely at times.
Dreyfuss and Menzies make for such a charming pair on screen, and their chemistry is undeniable, with some other humorous and worthwhile appearances from other notable faces, such as real-life married acting couple David Cross and Amber Tamblyn.
Nicole Holofcener's sharp and keen eye to writing and directing shines brilliantly through here, and you can tell she really understands the couple dynamics quite well. Overall, though simple and straightforward, it's still surprisingly funny, heartfelt, and just a plain old good time.
