Nicole Holofcener has made a career sharply observing an oversensitive subset of society, but her new film goes surprisingly easy on its characters.
The new film from Nicole Holofcener is called “You Hurt My Feelings,” but so what? That could be the title ofHolofcener movie.
Don, for example, worries that he’s losing his touch. And he’s right to fret. We drop in on his therapy sessions, where he sits in a state of near-numbness, offering either bland advice or none at all. One patient, Jim , mutters “He’s an idiot” at the end of an appointment, and a couple named Carolyn and Jonathan , who can be sure of a medal if bickering ever becomes an Olympic sport, wind up asking Don for their money back.
Delusions of creativity are always funny, because they rely on such a spectacular lack of self-knowledge. Is there a cure, apart from a steady job in a laundromat or a slaughterhouse? If I bumped into Beth, I’d give her a copy of Francis Bacon’s conversations with the art critic David Sylvester, in which Bacon says, “It’s very pleasant to be praised, but it doesn’t actually help you.
As career moves go, the path from neo-Nazism to horticulture has not, perhaps, received the attention it deserves. That strange omission is rectified by “Master Gardener,” the new movie from Paul Schrader. It stars Joel Edgerton as Narvel Roth, who manages the formal gardens at the Gracewood estate. It’s a grand if melancholic place, owned by Norma Haverhill , whose name is like a mashup of Norma Desmond and Miss Havisham, and whose gaze could nip the buds off a damask rose at forty yards.
