That film, and other Holofcener writing-directing efforts such as Friends with Money, Lovely & Amazing and perhaps my favorite, Please Give(not to forget the wonderful Can You Ever Forgive Me?

She seems to have a great relationship with her husband Don ( Tobias Menzies of The Crown and Game of Thrones), a therapist who also is getting a little more vain in his middle age, wondering if he should have some plastic surgery around his eyes (“I used to be so hot,” he laments).

Holofcener finds many ways to examine it, not just with Beth and Don, but just about every other key character that floats in and out of this very human and character-driven comedy.

Don also faces telling the truth head-on with one warring couple (Amber Tamblyn and David Cross, very funny) who have been coming to him for therapy with no visible results, eventually leading them to demand a refund.

It is all presented in low-key but amusing fashion by a filmmaker whose observations of human foibles and behavior hit the bullseye every time.

Together they create a marriage that is honest enough where it really counts, and quite frankly in a Sundance festival that is full of films depicting much, much darker visions of our relationships with one another, You Hurt My Feelings gives me hope.
