I know this is a controversial place to start examining Woody Allen’s work. After all, movies like Manhattan and Annie Hall are revered by movie critics and popped corn stuffers alike. For the record, I thought Manhattan was dull, boring and also moribund.
Truth is, Woody Allen is probably my favorite director of all time, considering his body of work. I’ve seen just about every movie he’s ever made and have enjoyed 95% of them.
Blue Jasmine is a tale regarding a woman who had it all, married to a very successful hedge fund manager, and then lost it all. She then attempts to adjust to her new life, without money, and hilarity ensues. Cate Blanchett won an oscar for leading female in this film; and I cannot remember a more memorable performance from any woman, in any movie, ever.

Yes, one of his best. KB played her part incredibly well; very believable
That Ella Fitzgerald sure could sing.
Blue Jasmine was similar to the story of Bernie Madoff, except that his sons, not his wife, turned him in, and then suffered tremendously themselves.
Yes
DICE! I view him as a writer, but is writer-director. That Blue Jasmine received so much critical/audience acclaim this far in is testament to his work
I guess I meant given small budget. Wolf of Wall St for scorsese was 100m. Blue Jasmine 18m
Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Sleeper, Bananas… Some great stuff over a long career.
The b&w fireworks at the beginning of Manhattan is one of my favorite scenes in movies.
Good films. I’ll get to them. So much work to cover
Don’t forget the orgasmatron
Have not seen them all but the ones seen are all the same film. At most two are needed to get Woody’s trip. Not a fan personally.
I’m pretty sure Woody Allen is a child molester. Plus his films are garbage. completely so.
If I was to hold a moral thermometer to Hollywood, I’d watch zero films.
If you do not like any Woody allen films you probably haven’t seen the right ones or cannot appreciate high shelf humor
His films are so bad. I have no idea what you are talking about. I loved your posts on Kubrick.
It’s my opinion that sexually molesting your daughters is a pretty unforgivable crime. You must have a different opinion on that.
