  You Hurt My Feelings 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 27 May 2023

  I’ve been excited to see this, being fresh off of finishing Veep this month. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is always fantastic to watch, whether she showcases her dramatic or comedic side, or an amusing blend of both in this case.

  There’s so many things to enjoy in this movie, just a fun story that works as both a tribute and parody of the action genre as a whole that also manages to dip a little bit into existentialism and escapism.

  A story about letting your past resentment go amid the confusion of grief, it just struck a personal note.  It can be a very difficult thing to do, as justified as those feelings are, but memories of true happiness and love always stay. I was reminded of my own family, and through all I’ve been with my parents, I’ll be sure to cherish them while they’re still around.

  Everything about this film was beautiful, and also subdued in its performances and storytelling.

  Just everything about the third act struck me like a train
