Buried amidst the fourteen Marvel movies playing simultaneously and the, what....17th "Fast and Furious" movie?....is this little movie called "You Hurt My Feelings," the rare film these days about and for adults. It's not about anything major. There is no trauma to be found here. There's a pretty happily married couple dealing with the things pretty happily married couples deal with as they get older, together and individually. It's about the almost endless stream of little lies we tell ourselves and other people to make it through any given day as a functioning member of society. And it's about how we decide when those lies matter and when we can forgive and move on.

Nicole Holofcener has fashioned a sharp little movie with stellar performances by a cast led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzies. This isn't a comedy full of big belly laughs, but rather one that will make people ruefully chuckle as they recognize the feelings and scenarios in it. You have to have a certain amount and kind of life experience to appreciate this movie. I liked it a lot and suspect I would find even more to like on subsequent viewings.

Grade: A.
