After all those false dawns, non-comebacks and semi-successful Euro jeux d'esprit, Allen has produced an outstanding movie, immensely satisfying and absorbing, and set squarely on American turf: that is, partly in San Francisco and partly in New York.

It’s real Streetcar Named Desire territory as the fights pile up, and if you think that doesn’t sound entertaining, know that it is, in a hypnotically catastrophic way.

This is a refined movie with sharp Woody Allen style.
Its shooting style is like someone on the scene shooting casually.
This engages the viewer and makes it a real joy.
Yet all the scenes, dialogues are intensely psychological, philosophical, tragic-comic. Jasmine has a great need to show off that she has a high end life style.
And she is just divorced from a rich man, and returns to her poor sister without money.
She and her sister are both adapted by the same family
And both of the are originally from different parents.
Her beauty appears to had enabled her to marry rich man. But now she is back to poor days. Although it looks like she is a psychopath with a great need to show off, she is also victim of her social surrounding, society.
She is suffering to make decision among three options for her life.
- Satisfying her immediate needs with a routine simple work, having a basic life.
- By using her charm marrying a rich man for a fancy life .
- Following her dream of being an interior decorator with hard work She is suffering these paradoxes because her immediate poor environment keeps advising her just get a routine job and stay alive.
On the other hand, in a party she meets with a diplomat who is planning to be senator in the future. And he wants to marry her.
So she is failing to resist her environment destroying dreams that demand hard working.
Woody Allen presentation of this paradox is so sublime. Leading actress and everyone in this movie performed so real, so good.

Outstanding Blanchett in the shoes of a swan princess fallen from grace in the edge of insanity. The neurosis and humor are the hallmark of long lived Allen.

Unlikely as it may seem, though, Blue Jasmine finds Allen charting bona fide new territory.

The way she (Blanchette) anchors this superb dramedy is a thing of beauty.

The scene when she's (Blanchette) babysitting Ginger's boys and takes them to a diner - and confides about her electric shock treatments ("Edison's medicine"), her breakdowns, about the side effects of Prozac and Lithium . . .. it's genius.

As written, Jasmine is a hopeless neurotic, trapped in a perpetual panic. As played, she has a wicked hint of Scarlett O'Hara.

Blue Jasmine is so relentlessly clueless about the ways real human beings live, and so eager to make the same points about human nature that Allen has made dozens of times before, that it seems like a movie beamed from another planet.

Many riches in this movie: 1) It's wonderful that Mr Allen finally decides to place the entire story around one character, not many. It's all about Jasmine from start to finish. Midnight in Paris and Match Point were neither as focused nor as interested in their leading characters. 2) I do see and appreciate the funny bits but Blue Jasmine is a drama. It actually hits tragic proportions by the end and I love that. 3) It's almost ridiculous that Cate Blanchett, already one of the best actors in the world prior to this movie, delivers her most iconic leading performance as Jasmine after being in the business for almost 2 decades. Naturally and deservedly she won the Oscar and broke the record for most Best Actress awards won by a single role - 42.

Desenvolvimento narrativo preguiçoso, personagens esteriotipados e uma direção presa em repetições constituem a maior parte desse filme. O elenco tenta ajudar, mas não consegue sozinho dar vida a um roteiro mediano. Blue Jasmine desperta mais interesse pelo filme que poderia ser do que pelo filme que realmente é.

Even though it has a cast that tries with alright dialogue and a solid (oscar-less) performance by Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine can't transcend its status as a badly written, directed and boring oscar-bait mess.

Working against time to see the Oscar nominees. Didn't know that this was a Woody Allen film until it started . .that's how clueless I am. Cate B.'s performance was very good and it sounds like she'll win the Oscar. Okay. Trying to figure out why this film was so disturbing to me. Not sure . . . wanted to eject the DVD but waited until the end for what I hoped would be some redemption. Disappointed that it ended the way it started . .Jasmine talking to herself. Sheesh.
