“You hurt my feelings”, interview with director Nicole Holofcener

After its world premiere at the 2023 edition of Sundance Film Festival and its italian premiere at the 41st Torino Film Festival, in November 2023, You Hurt my feelings by director and scriptwriter Nicole Holofcener is finally landing in Italian movie theaters from February 8,2024 with Vertice 360.

Starring again Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 10 years after Enough Said, the film tries to answer a difficult and tricky question: “where do you draw the line between being supportive and being honest?”

With the story of a popular writer (Louis-Dreyfus) who feels betrayed by her husband as she accidentally discovers that he doesn’t really like her new book, Holofcener  analyzes the value of truth in relationships. “Is it OK for someone to love me but not love everything I do? Or is my ego so frail it can’t take it? The script flowed from that concept – says Holofcener –  and as it did, it became about marriage, truth, loyalty, and parenting.”.

You Hurt my feelings also talks about the protagonist’s relationship with her son as it is very difficult to find a balance between telling the truth to your son/ daughter about their abilities and their flows and still make them feel whole and ready for today’s world with the necessary level of support.
