You Hurt My Feelings
DCP at Nitehawk Cinema (Williamsburg)
<PERSON> second attempt at an American remake of Force Majeure, this time with more success.
Interesting irony in the fact that Downhill had the venerable <PERSON> as a writer (somehow) while You Hurt My Feelings scooped up half of Succession’s supporting cast (<PERSON>, <PERSON>, <PERSON>). I guess the world won’t let me get over that show anytime soon.
It definitely has the same flavor profile as your Private Lifes and Meyerowitz Storieses, but I’ll always enjoy indulging that side of my palate, and it pandered very well to this full Williamsburg audience.
Edit: I just read something on <PERSON>’s Wikipedia page that seems somewhat relevant to the plot of this film, “After viewing one of her NYU films, her stepfather (who produced <PERSON> movies) wondered aloud if she should make a career change.” 378
