Critics Consensus

Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine finds the director in peak late-period form -- and benefiting from a superb cast led by Cate Blanchett.

It's brilliantly watchable, if not mesmerising; and brilliantly performed, particularly by Cate Blanchett, who will knock your socks off, and may knock them off so explosively there is every chance you will never retrieve them again.

Blue Jasmine weaponises Blanchett's elegant image against us, showing a character who is trying with all her might to maintain this glamour that is falling down around her. Seriously, she's amazing in this one.

... what a fine way to revere one of Williams' most adapted dramas with a modern take that thrusts its slowly malfunctioning central character into a new situation that only hastens her demise.

Blue Jasmine is Allen's best film yet, with a haunting and emotionally provocative performance by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett

The one towering achievement of Blue Jasmine that is worth your attention is the lead performance of Cate Blanchett.

4/4

Allen has made an unforgettable character study of a fascinating, despicable, sympathetic, and engaging figure and those around her.

Good film with a stellar and notable performance from the wonderful Cate Blanchett from the "later" era of Woody Allen! At times, romantic elements were somewhat awkward and parts were kind of stressful and depressing at times.

I grew up in a Brooklyn housing project, in the ‘60s. I resent Manhattan snobs as much as anyone. I distinctly remember snobs staring at my Timex watch and Thom McAn shoes and judging my worth, in skyscraper elevators. But I grew up and realized money doesn’t buy happiness. Only a loving family, which I worked hard for, and I have now. So I started watching this movie even though I usually don’t like Alec Baldwin movies. I didn’t realize it was a Woody Allen movie. I usually avoid his neurotic stereotypes about Jews and New Yorkers. The movie started out with an intriguing premise, but it’s so trite. I thought Ginger and Andrew Dice Clay’s character were interesting, but I bailed anyway. When I saw his lottery earnings were going to be embezzled, I thought I don’t need to wallow in this hateful dreck. I will look at some Andrew Dice Clay movies. He seems to have matured. Nerdy Woody Allen is still getting even with his childhood bullies evidently.
