Cate Blanchett plays a great part about a woman going from Riches to rags due to her dishonest husband. The characters neurocies shine through. Enjoy it. I did.

Another Classic From Woody Allen

Blue Jasmine made me think of Tennessee William's "A Street Car Named Desire" lifted from the South and dropped down in New York. I have been a long-time fan of Cate Blanchett who won a Best Actress Oscar for this film. In this movie she is forced to tear away pretenses and end up mumbling on a New York park bench. This is a story about loss of money, glamour, and illusions resulting in a detailed analysis of a life being torn apart. Looking like a play while being written by Woody Allen, this is a drama centering on one character receiving a severe beating by life. Definitely appealed to the serious side of me but also is not for everyone.

Blue Jasmine won best picture at the Academy Awards. The movie has a lot to offer in that it captures your attention and holds it. The characters portrayed their roles in good form and the plot was quite refreshing. Furthermore, I found it to funny, exciting and entertaining, also charming in the way it depicted the upside of how life can work out for the best when dared to be lived at it's fullest.

Blue Jasmine as a movie is a pleasant surprise -a movie for the current
economic times where being rich can quickly turn to disaster. The cast
in Blue Jasmine is perfect....slick Baldwin as a corrupt business man who also cheats on his wife to the beautiful-witty wife -Cate Blanchett
caught in the middle. The going backwards to New York/Hamptons -
vs current life in San Francisco matches up 2 great parts of America.
Blue Jasmine is a go see movie over and over again.

Blanchett Is Amazing

One of Woody Allen's better movies. If you like his last few you will probably enjoy Blue Jasmine. Cate Blanchett gives an amazing performance and Andrew Dice Clay surprises. Even though his role was not primary, he was integral to the story and did a great job as the character.

I really enjoy the grittiness of the characters and a look into their lives. It's an interesting story with each character revealing their strengths and flaws. I really enjoyed the acting and storyline.

What a poignant film! Woody Allen has a real genius at putting actors into roles where they shine. He casts actors that seemingly are out of place "together" but when the action is called bring a brilliance to his words no one can deny as pure genius.

Cate Blanchett outstanding. Nice to see Bobby Cannavale in a nicer role than Boardwalk Empire's 3rd season, which he's excellent in. Entire cast was good. Modern day streetcar name desire. Woody's best movie in awhile probably since Match Point.

Not one of my favorites of Woody Allen, but it's a good film. It's one of Woody Allen's darker films. Cate Blanchett gives an amazing performance that is worth seeing.

Cate Blanchett is always great in her films but she awesome in this. Her character is always on the edge of going a little nuts. If you are a fan of Cate Blanchett you should really watch this movie.

And who doesn't know a neurotic person? Poor Jasmine...
Woody Allen is a cinematic genius from his scripts, to choice of actors, the sets and I especially appreciate how he scores his films.

This is a typical Woody Allen in that the story is secondary to the characters. You have to watch without distractions to follow the story because it jumps around from past to present a fair bit. It is well done for what it is but is definitely not your typical mindless entertainment and if you aren't fully engaged the movie won't be very satisfying.
