Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Blue Jasmine (2013)

I can’t point to anything that's definitely wrong here, but it was just tedious.

Jasmine (Blanchett) has come down in the world and has to rely on the kindness of her sister -- the sister she all but shunned when she was living the high life. The character of Jasmine is beyond unrelatable: both delusional (possibly willfully so) and patronizing.  In a word: blech.  In more words: Allen disappoints again.
