On the other hand, an ending that felt…odd. The final…

You Hurt My Feelings 2023
“A terrific watch!”
You Hurt My Feelings is a quiet movie about candor and the moments I/we lean away from it intentionally. A film where you’ve (potentially) been every one of these characters at some point. If I had a partner or kids, I’m sure more vicarious embarrassment would’ve crept in during some moments 😆
