Like all of Nicole Holofcener’s films, ‘You Hurt My Feelings’ is rooted in her own life. “Because my movies are so personal, I sometimes wonder if the people in my life who love me—do they love my movies, and do they have to?”
Holofcener’s films mostly take place in New York or Los Angeles—while she’s lived in both, her decisions are largely based on which will give her tax breaks—and capture the neuroses of the white middle-to-upper-class intellectual breed. Her heroines are never as successful as they want to be, often coveting a lifestyle that’s just out of reach.her protagonist spirals as her best friend prepares to get married and starts to doubt that commitment.
It may be random to her, but for viewers it creates a universe of familiar stress that is uniquely Holofcener’s. The inciting incident inis devastatingly funny—and takes place at the gigantic Paragon store, of all places, in Union Square—but it also feels like it could happen to you. Despite her decades of creating critically adored work, it hasn’t gotten easier for Holofcener to finance her movies. Until A24 came along, this one in particular was “really hard,” she says. Even then, she only got 22 days to shoot—the shortest amount of time she’s ever had. She’s not sure when the next idea will come along, or if it even will. “I always feel like, and I’m sure most writers feel this way, that might have been my last one and I might have to live with that,” she says.
