From writer-director, Nicole Holofcener, A24’s comedy drama You Hurt My Feelings is, like Holofcener’s previous work, a study in human connections and emotions. It stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzies as the film’s main focus, and Succession’s Arian Moayed and Michaela Watkins as the sister and brother-in-law whose quiet troubles reflect their family’s. While promoting the movie for its Memorial Day weekend release, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Moayed and Watkins about relating to their characters and filming on location in New York City.

You Hurt My Feelings zeroes in on married couple, Beth (Louis-Dreyfus) and Don (Menzies), and their happy-go-lucky companionship in NYC. Beth, a writer, is understandably anxious about the success of her memoir, while Don, a shrink, is worrying about aging, and subsequently losing touch with his patients. Watkins plays Beth’s interior designing sister, Sarah, whose husband, Mark (Moayed) is an actor, and their relationships in the film all coincide around bumps in the road, telling white lies in order to placate your significant other, and whether truth really equates to love. The movie also features David Cross, Amber Tamblyn, Owen Teague, and Jeannie Berlin.

While discussing the movie with Collider, which you can watch or read below, Moayed and Watkins could easily find common ground with their characters. “Being an artist is just full of [insecurities],” Moayed admits, though the duo muse that this may not necessarily be a bad thing. They talk about the characters’ relationships and the future they see for them after the credits roll, as well as what it’s like filming on the streets of New York City, and “the insight and the nuance of characters” in Holofcener’s scripts.
