A lot of unjustified hate for Woody Allen out there, but you have to hand it to him, the man can make great films! It helps that Cate Blanchett delivered an Oscar winning performance who suffers the repercussions of ratting out her…

Oh, Kate...no one else could have done this role as well as you!

I'm not a fan of Woody Allen, or of his films, but I've seen a few (mainly to see if I might change my mind). So far... no. But on to "Blue Jasmine". Which I don't consider a comedy, even though it's listed as one. The sets, locations,…

Cate Blanchett plays a rich bitch who uses people and lies and somehow believes she can get away with it, a morality tale, I guess you would call this, told with a multitude of flashbacks. The various boyfriend characters are interesting…

This was listed as a comedy. I suppose if you like to laugh at the horrendous fate of a rich woman who failed to look after herself but depended utterly on her wealthy, seductive, unfaithful and corrupt husband, you might find it funny. I…

Typical Woody Allen fare. If you are not a city dweller who loves endless dialogue, you will probably fast forward through much of the movie.

A not very interesting film about not very interesting people. Sally Hawkins gives the Oscar deserving performance, not that Cate Blanchett isn't very good. Alec Baldwin always plays the same character, no matter what the movie. The…

This was a terrific movie. Cate is a superb actress and her supporting cast is interesting, funny, and not in the way of the story. There are, of course, wonderful location shots of NYC and SF, with Woodie Allen at the director's helm. I…

This film is loaded with wonderful acting, with Cate Blanchett appearing stellar in her role. But the film felt incomplete, unfinished, lacking something in the end. It is certainly worth seeing though.

. Subtitles are large, yellow with a black background . At first I thought the charachter 'Jasmine' was overacted but realized this is how people with bi-polar are...highs are very high & lows are very low. Overall there was no plot to…

Did not like.

I went to the theatre to see it and knew right away that Cate Blanchette's performance was going to win awards. It was Woody Allen at his creative and directorial best. I've watched it a couple of times since. Those giving it a low score…

I like a lot of Woody Allens' work and this was no exception. A sad story of a riches to rags woman whose whole world is spinning out of control. I found myself cheering for her though, try harder to be nice to other people I thought, and…

SPOILER* This is my 1st Woody Allen film, and on a whim, I gave this film a chance to watch. The movie resonates and I can't help but feel empathy towards Cate Blanchett's character, Jasmine French, an emotionally unstable former socialite…

I read somewhere that Blue Jasmine is loosely based on Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. I definitely got that Streetcar vibe from watching the movie. Although nobody takes to the streets screaming Stella. But Cate Blanchett's…

A lot of drama, very dark. Cate Blanchett's role was convincing. Did not like the ending, it left me hanging. It just felt incomplete.

One thing you can say about Woody Allen's characters is that they have layers. Due to personal tragedy Jasmine, Blanchett 's character, does her best to survive out her rich past 1 percentile world. Little by little the indignities of…

A little slow, and hard to believe, but excellent acting. More drama than some of Allen's dark comedies.

One of Woody Allen's best, a beautifully crafted blend of humor and drama, and a sensitive portrayal of mental illness.

It was typical for a person to be flying high, ignoring someone who didn't have as much and then when things turned out for the worse she runs to that same person she ignored. Look around you, don't you know people that are just like…

More tragic than comedy IMO, "Blue Jasmine" is more of a reflection of real life than most would want to admit.

Ever since Eminem won a best original song Oscar for his trailer park drivel (and didn’t even have the decency to honour the travesty by showing up in person) I’ve viewed the Academy Awards as a contemptuous joke and not a measure of…

Classic neurotic Woody script.

Blanche(tt) Dubois on Xanax, cheap Vodka, Prozac, etc. Woody Allen is NO Tennessee Williams. Gimme Vivien Leigh's vulnerable gentility, or Brando's "Stellaaah!"

This film was really bad. Cate Blanchett was superb, but the rest felt tacked on and in places the plot went unrealized.
