You Hurt My Feelings

Reviews

• "Holofcener weaves these people and their problems together in delicate fashion, guiding us toward her thematic conclusions in a way that never feels starchy, didactic, too lesson-oriented. She’s got a light touch, a humane one too."
  - Vanity Fair
• "There’s a modesty about YOU HURT MY FEELINGS that makes it seem in some ways as simple and straightforward as its title. But Holofcener is such a gifted writer that it becomes a mosaic of mildly absurd minutiae, mixed in with legitimate feelings."
  - The Hollywood Reporter
• "It’s a sweet, slight film about the nagging worry at the back of every artist’s head: they’re actually just a mediocre talent, being politely humored by their friends and family"
  - Little White Lies
• "It achieves a level of total stylistic commitment more common in European art cinema than American indies, but with a voice all its own."
  - Financial Times
• "A barbed comedy about human failings and the equally human tendency not to be truthful about them."
  - Toronto Star
• "Holofcener deftly juggles the emotions of every character, parsing exactly where each is coming from, lucidly and thoughtfully elaborating her script with their specific insecurities."
  - The Film Stagex
• "The resulting film is warm-hearted and rueful and hilarious in all the best ways."
  - Vox
• "It’s both smart and entertaining."
  - TIME Magazine
• "One of [Holofcener's] smartest and funniest films."
