“Blush” (*1/2 out of four) was a boring melodrama about a middle-aged housewife (Wendi McLendon-Covey) who feels alienated from her husband (Steve Little) and 13-year old daughter (Catherine Curtin) and begins to emotionally and psychologically unravel as she reinterprets and reanalyzes her life. Muddled and obtuse story takes its time but has no real story to tell; performances are fairly one note also and don’t do much to draw you into this banal material. Even so, this was nominated and drew accolades at last year’s Sundance Film Festival.
