The Power of "You Hurt My Feelings" in Challenging Social Norms.

TL;DR Summary
"You Hurt My Feelings" is a film about middle-aged adults who have a petty argument about the protagonist's new book. The film deals with the vulnerability of making art and the desire for validation. However, the film's triviality is confirmed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus's performance, which signals comedy when the script finds its laughs in characters playing things straight. The film takes place in a sunny New York shot at peak allure, amid people leading the kind of comfortable middle-class lives that in reality are nearing extinction in Manhattan.
