(it is hard to remember exact locations in such a muddle of a film) towards the last 1/3 where CC (though obviously Kaufman in anticipation of criticism) admits to a fixation upon the negative and his life and it is obviously Kaufman's attempt at a preemptive argument.
Woody Allen's problems are interesting because of his humor in facing them; to open one's pus-filled (literally) wounds on camera for two hours, Steve, isn't particularly edifying, interesting, or of artistic merit.
In a nutshell: this film is the equivalent of watching a teenage girl mutilate herself with a razor blade, hour after hour.
I give it Five Zits.
