We are drawn to her, both Michaela and I.
JULIA BOIN JAV MOVIES MOVIE
RASCOE: This movie is written and directed by Nicole Holofcener, who you've both worked with before. WATKINS: Especially in an arena that is so subjective. That's something you have to come to terms with as an artist, I think. And so that is something that's sometimes a difficult thing to reconcile when you're sort of selling a piece of yourself, as it were. But in terms of artists, yes, of course, because if you're an artist, shall we say, your art is an expression of yourself. And so there's a lot of self-doubt that threads throughout the whole piece. But I would also add that the character of my husband, played by the wonderful Tobias Menzies - he plays a therapist, and he's also questioning the quality of his work in the film. LOUIS-DREYFUS: Well, I mean, I agree with it. And so it sounds like I can safely say that artists are particularly vulnerable to criticism of their work. RASCOE: We've kind of gotten into this because, obviously, many of the characters in the film are artists - you know, a novelist, a designer, an actor - and all the characters grapple with the quality of their work and how it's perceived. And if it's your partner, if it's a romantic partner, you better work real hard and find it if you can't. You know, because I'm not a great liar, but I will find something, something that I have fallen in love with about them. WATKINS: You know, I've seen people do things where I love their performance and don't love the play or something like that, so I usually find something that I can love about them and tell them that. WATKINS: If you're an actor and someone comes up and says, I'm proud of you, you know they hated it and your performance.
In a situation like that, do you think it's good to just tell the person that you like their performance even if you didn't? Or do you just say, I'm proud of you, and I'm proud that you did it and then leave? RASCOE: Michaela, your character in the movie kind of falls on the other side of this divide because she's always telling her husband that he's doing great - and he's an actor - even if she doesn't like the performance. Like, that's a - it's not that you look bad in it. You say it's not - you know, it's not that you look bad in the dress. Obviously, you want to be honest about, like, who you're sleeping with and stuff like that, but, like, does this look good on me? Am I gaining weight? RASCOE: Really, in relationships, it can seem like honesty is a very mushy thing.
Doesn't provide answers, necessarily, but it explores those ideas. And I think it also examines, what does it mean to be supportive in a relationship? Does that include truth-telling? Does that include complete honesty? And it really is sort of a meditation on all of that. LOUIS-DREYFUS: And for artists, particularly. LOUIS-DREYFUS: Well, I think the movie certainly examines the idea of, are you your work? Is your worth connected to your work? This is an interesting thing to think about. What do you think about that conflict of the way that we talk to our loved ones about the work that they do?
But then at the same time, in the movie, she gets a little bit in trouble because she's telling her son that his play will be wonderful, even though she hasn't read a word of it. So, Julia, your character, as we mentioned, gets upset that her husband has been telling her he likes her book while saying something else behind her back.
The film stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the novelist and Michaela Watkins as her sister. RASCOE: But that simple premise leads to a movie about love and art and the lies we tell each other to keep going. He's probably been lying to me this whole time. LOUIS-DREYFUS: (As Beth) No, not if he doesn't like my work. MICHAELA WATKINS: (As Sarah) Of course he respects you. JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS: (As Beth) How could he possibly respect me? (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "YOU HURT MY FEELINGS") A novelist discovers her husband doesn't like her book, despite telling her over and over how much he does. The new movie "You Hurt My Feelings" has a simple premise.
