Beth a novelist who is working on her latest book is about to have her whole life thrown into uproar when she overhears what her husband Don really thinks of it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You Hurt My Feelings is a rather interesting look into the close relationship we have with family and friends and quite frankly how we aren’t always brutally honest and will do whatever it takes to be supportive, rather than having a difficult conversation.
Beth and Don’s marriage does seem very stable as they both work hard in their respective fields. Beth as a writer and teacher, having her writing class added different aspects to her story. Don a shrink who is having self doubts with some clients who don’t seem all that happy with him anymore. Then you throw in their son Eliot who has zero ambitions to do quite frankly anything with his life, and all they actually do is support him and believe he is capable of so much more.
The thing was though Beth didn’t mean to listen to her husband’s conversation and it was more bad timing than anything else. Instead thought of just talking to Don about it after it happened, naturally she was then just annoyed with him and he was left confused by her behaviour. When it eventually comes out they are then honest about the gifts they have been buying each other for years and that quite frankly they have never really liked him.
I wasn’t really expecting very much when I started watching the film and I went all in because of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and she did not disappoint in leading this film. It really does have a lot going for it and has some truly funny moments mixed in with it all. I also find that the focus on parents trying to support and empower their children was an interesting aspect, given that they are not really supposed to tell you that you can’t do something. Which let’s face it is not really true in the real world is it!
