YOU HURT MY FEELINGS Opening at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes
Opening June 2, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater presents You Hurt My Feelings, a compelling comedy that gives us a quiet look at the brutal honesty within intimate relationships.
Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a popular writer, and her husband Don, a well-liked teacher, share the kind of relationship that truly, seriously, for the love of God cannot be real: that is, they're actually in love. Even after decades of marriage, parenting, and their own successful careers, their physical spark has somehow not diminished; in fact, they seem to relish the opportunity to share a single ice cream cone and drive others -- including their son, Charlie -- mad. Should it come as a surprise then that his own marriage is in crisis? But when Beth discovers that Don has been untruthful to her about his opinion of her work for years -- Beth's world comes crashing down. Has their whole relationship been one Big Fat Lie? [2023, US, 83 min, Rating: R]
Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago states, “It’s rare that marriage is authentically portrayed on screen, and this marriage story keeps it real. Julia Louis-Dreyfus knows exactly what gear to shift when it comes to her character, and combines a writer's angst with a touch of narcissism. Stellar!”
Screening times are 2 pm on Fri (June 2), 7 pm on Sat (Jun 3), 3 pm on Sun (Jun 4), 3 pm & 7 pm on Wed (Jun 7). Admission is $9 for members, $11.50 for general audiences and $5 for students. Purchase advance tickets online at www.rehobothfilm.com or at the Cinema Art Theater box office in Lewes.
