There's a real sense of understated, deeply personal comedy in 'You Hurt My Feelings'. There are no big, blow-out spectacles or setpieces, but rather a kind of believable humour to it that delivers some big laughs throughout. In particular, the scenes with her on-screen mother played by Jeannie Berlin are far too real for them to be merely concocted from thin air.
In the same spirit of other New York comedy dramas like 'Annie Hall' or 'When Harry Met Sally', there's a real sense that 'You Hurt My Feelings' just ambles along from scene to scene, all of them given appropriate time and space to build up and set down without the need for a specific punchline or pause for audience laughter.
At just over 90 minutes, 'You Hurt My Feelings' is an easygoing comedy-drama that deals with honesty and bullshit in a lived-in way. There's a real sense of intelligence to how the story plays out, but it's not high-brow or inaccessible - quite the opposite, in fact. What it deals with is human and connective in a way that a lot of comedies tend to ignore or move around to get at something more obvious.
