‘You Hurt My Feelings’, which screens at The Rex this weekend, takes a look at what might happen if we learned what others really thought about us—when people stop being polite and start getting real. The movies stars Julia LouisDreyfus (Seinfeld, Veep) as Beth, a novelist and writing professor at The New School, who has just finished her latest book and is anx-

iously awaiting feedback from her agent. She confides her worries to her ever-supportive therapist husband, Don (Tobias Menzies), but then overhears him telling someone he actually thinks her new novel is terrible. This disclosure shatters Beth, as deep hurt replaces decades of trust in just a few seconds. Enter Beth’s sister, Sarah who pragmatically tells her that everyone tells these little lies in the name of kindness, as she does with her actor husband. When he asks how his latest
performance was – it was always “great” she says! The movie explores other methods of dealing with the issue, but basically boils down to honesty is best even if the shortterm impact is unpleasant. There’s both humor and wisdom in this film by director, Nicole Holofcener and is sure to have audiences reflecting on similar situations in their own lives. “You Hurt My Feelings” MA15+ (Strong, coarse language) 93 mins screens on Saturday 22nd July at 8pm, Sunday 23rd July at 2pm and Tuesday 25th July at 8pm.
