Julia-Louis Dreyfus Plays a Writer with Trust Issues in You Hurt My Feelings Trailer

Julia-Louis Dreyfus tackles the subject of the white lies we tell loved ones — and the complications they cause — in the upcoming comedy, You Hurt My Feelings.

The Emmy Award-winning actress, 62, stars as Beth, a novelist whose marriage is suddenly upended when she overhears her husband's honest reaction to her latest book.

A new trailer for the film examines how self-doubt and trust issues start to seep into the family dynamics after Dreyfus' character sees her husband Don (Tobias Menzies) with a friend at a clothing store, looking at a wall of socks. Whatever she hears sends Beth rushing out to the street, warning, "I think I'm going to throw up."

Later Don pleads to his wife, "If I did say that, you took it out of context," to which the Veep and Seinfeld actress responds, "Are you going to gaslight me now?"
