Trailer for New Julia Louis-Dreyfus Movie You Hurt My Feelings Drops
A trailer for the new Julia Louis-Dreyfus film, You Hurt My Feelings, was released on March 21.
It is a general rule in our society that honesty is the best policy. However, honesty does not always make everyone happy. That is the concept for the new film. In You Hurt My Feelings, Louis-Dreyfus stars as Beth, an author whose latest book was unsuccessful. Her husband is Don (Tobias Menzies), a therapist who always supports her work, with whom she has a son, Elliott (Owen Teague). However, one day, Beth overhears Don saying he is not a big fan of her writing which makes Beth re-evaluate everything she knows about her marriage, writing, and self-esteem.
The trailer unveils Don and Beth’s unhappy relationship and the hardships they face. While the trailer does not reveal what Don says that makes Beth so upset, her visceral reaction gives an idea of the pain. Furthermore, the movie will follow Beth’s strenuous relationship with her mother, Georgie (Jeannie Berlin). Also, the film follows Beth’s sister Sarah (Michaela Watkins), and how she deals with her marriage to a struggling actor, Mark (Arian Moayed). Additional cast members include David Cross, Amber Tamblyn, Sarah Steele, and Zach Cherry. It is a film about love and the truth.

It is rare to see Louis-Dreyfus acting in film. Most of her work is in television, specifically her roles in Seinfeld, Veep, and The New Adventures of Old Christine. These roles have helped her reach the record for most Emmy wins by an actor. Despite those many television appearances, Louis-Dreyfus has quite a few film credits to her name. There is the aforementioned Enough Said. In 2020, she starred alongside Will Ferrell in the comedy Downhill. Furthermore, earlier this year, Louis-Dreyfus was in the rom-com You People on Netflix. Louis-Dreyfus has found her film niche in fun comedies.
Here it is, and let me tell you, I’ve been sort of jittery while waiting to hear Tobias’ US accent!

Most of Menzies’s work has been in British media. Like Louis-Dreyfus, he is more of a television actor. One of his first big roles was as Brutus in the historical television series Rome. He is mostly known for his role as Prince Phillip in seasons 3 and 4 of The Crown, which led to his Emmy win. Also, he has a Golden Globe nomination for his role in Outlander. While he has not done a lot of big work in film, he has proven that he can give a starring performance.
