Everyone’s avoiding the bitter truth in smart, authentic film ‘You Hurt My Feelings’

One slip of the tongue prompts a reassessment of the marriage between Don (Tobias Menzies) and Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in “You Hurt My Feelings.” (A24)

It’s all in the details.

Writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s “You Hurt My Feelings” is an absolute marvel — a miniaturist gem in which every scene feels authentic and of this life, and every character, even the ones who wander in for a moment or two before getting on with their lives, rings true. If you’re looking for a smart, insightful, slightly cynical yet warmhearted and consistently smile-inducing slice of life reminiscent of the best character-driven films of the 1970s, punch your ticket right here.
