Netflix is already cranking out the original films this year. You Hurt My Feelings is one of their 3-4 releases that came out in January this year. Starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus the comedy is added to the list of streaming service films that have some relatively big names. We are rapidly approaching the time where streaming service films are going to be eligible for awards without a theatrical screening. Streaming services have been producing more high quality content, with higher caliber actors so it is only a matter of time. That said streaming service films SHOULD be for lesser known or completely unknown actors to get their shot. We know you aren’t pouring that much money into these. They are perfect for up and coming actors to add to their reels. But streaming services are begging for legitimacy and the quickest path to that is to use established actors who absolutley don’t need the money. But I digress.

You Hurt My Feelings really does a great job of balancing the emotional and the comedy. It’s so real, the emotional parts of the story are very raw. I think that this is a much watch for anyone that likes quieter movies but it’s definitely a must watch for artists of any kind. By the end of the film everyone kind of figures out where they need to be and it’s just really beautiful. It perfectly balances sweet and introspective. I think it really delivers a message of; “The people around you can support your art but if you aren’t confident in it yourself you won’t succeed. There was some wonderful commentary on relationships and how we handle delivering bad news. It is more then worth the watch, its a must see. I think the film was great, I give it a very solid 9/10.
