One of my favorite directors and I admire his fecundity, but even I must admit the quality has dropped off over the last decade, with the exception of Blue Jasmine (2013), his loose adaptation of "A Streetcar Named Desire".
A lot of his recent films looked kind of unfinished to me, needing a bit more work before release. He was always known for finishing on time and within budget, which is why he got so many offers to direct. and his films looked kind of "off the cuff" which made them fresh, but lately they just looked sloppy.
It is funny that he finally realized that he was too decrepid to play (even a self-mocking) romantic lead, yet the other actors he cast instead seemed to do their best to parody him instead of being themselves.
