Reel Alternatives, your connection to the TIFF Film Circuit in Huntsville, presents their next movie, You Hurt My Feelings on Monday, December 4th, in partnership with the Algonquin Theatre.
Starring the brilliant and often very funny Julia Louis-Dreyfus, this darkly comedic film deals with the depths of relationships and how seemingly strong foundations can be partly or fully fractured for the simplest of reasons. You Hurt My Feelings is generously sponsored Kim O’Grady, Broker, Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited Brokerage.
Writer-professor Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her husband Don (Tobias Menzies), a therapist, are as copacetic as can be even after decades of marriage — still passionate, still sharing a single ice cream cone (to the disgust of their son), and still supporting each other professionally. Beth has a reasonably well-received memoir under her belt as well as a teaching gig at the New School but is struggling to get her first novel published. Don, despite feeling his age and mixing up his patients’ issues in sessions, has supported and praised Beth’s latest work, draft after draft.
But one day, the unimaginable happens when Beth overhears a conversation in which he confides that he just doesn’t think her new project is very good. You Hurt My Feelings is a story about moderately happy people who are pretty good at holding everything together until they come face to face with the truth. Director, Nicole Holofcener nimbly explores the limits of honesty and whether the piety of positivity is really all it’s cracked up to be.
Tickets for You Hurt My Feelings are on sale at the Algonquin Theatre by phone at 705-789-4975 or online at algonquintheatre.ca.
Now In its 24th year of bringing fine Canadian and international films to Huntsville, Reel Alternatives is a non-profit group who invites the community to experience movies as they were meant to be seen – on the big screen with fellow film lovers – at the beautiful Algonquin Theatre. Reel Alternatives Huntsville gratefully acknowledges their partnership with Film Circuit, presented by TIFF, and its sponsors and supporters.
