Frustrated, compulsive, prickly, inert—these are the kind of human imperfections that the writer-director Nicole Holofcener captures so perfectly in her films. Her latest project, You Hurt My Feelings (an anthem for our times if there ever was one), is no exception. With her pitch-perfect ear for the privileged, narcissistic, New York City brownstone set, Holofcener introduces us to Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a writer wading through a follow-up novel to her well-reviewed memoir, and her husband, Don (Tobias Menzies), a buttoned-up therapist with emotional fatigue. When Beth overhears Don and a family member (Arian Moayed) criticizing her unpublished book, she’s upended. Holofcener neatly presents us with a moral dilemma. How honest should we be with those we love? And is a lie that’s intended to protect someone still a lie? —Bridget Arsenault
