You Hurt My Feelings

“⋆⋆⋆⋆ (4 stars)!  “You Hurt My Feelings” finds  (director Nicole) Holofcener at the top of her already formidable game! The most obvious pleasures … lie in these laugh-out-loud sequences, but the movie gains steady velocity and unexpected depth in the way Holofcener gently guides her characters through choppy emotional waters, allowing them to get rocked around a little, but never to capsize completely. As a chronicle of the pains we all take just to get through the day, “You Hurt My Feelings” rings uncannily true. As a slice of life spiked with mordant, uncynical humor, it’s deliciously entertaining. In other words, it’s another Holofcener movie, which means it’s perilously close to perfect.   ” – Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
