TL;DR

You Hurt My Feelings, directed by Nicole Holofcener and starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, is a comedy about a quartet of people contending with the realization that their future may not be as successful or fulfilling as they had hoped. The film finds humor in whole situations and contexts rather than in quotable one-liners, and Louis-Dreyfus displays her expertise in puncturing her character's small everyday vanities while also showing the real pain and confusion that underlie her often maddeningly self-sabotaging behavior. Despite some critics dismissing it as a trifle, the film's existence and persistence in a movie landscape filled with plotlines involving cybernetic pterosaurs firing Sidewinder missiles is something to be protected and cherished.
