You Hurt My Feelings

Director: Nicole Holofcener, Cast: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tobias Menzies, Michaela Watkins, R

Beth (Julia 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? “One of [Holofcener’s] smartest and funniest films.” —Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
