You Hurt My Feelings

May 21, 2023

You Hurt My Feelings is a 2023 comedy-drama film written, directed and produced by Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said). The film was shot in New York City in May 2022, and had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2023.

Beth (Louis-Dreyfus), a popular writer, and her husband Don, a well-liked teacher, share the kind of relationship that truly, seriously, for the love of God cannot be real: that is, they're actually in love. Even after decades of marriage, parenting, and their own successful careers, their physical spark has somehow not diminished; in fact, they seem to relish the opportunity to share a single ice cream cone and drive others -- including their son, Charlie -- mad. Should it come as a surprise then that his own marriage is in crisis? But when Beth discovers that Don has been untruthful to her about his opinion of her work for years -- Beth's world comes crashing down. Has their whole relationship been one Big Fat Lie?

The cast includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tobias Menzies, Michaela Watkins, Arian Moayed, and Jeannie Berlin.

You Hurt My Feelings is scheduled to be released on May 26th, courtesy of A24. Watch the official trailer below.
