Review of Blue Jasmine (2013) by Ferg3000 — 23 Oct 2013
This movie shouldn't be nominated for anything. I love woody allen, but giving this movie good reviews is only encouraging more of the same material. the only depth in the story is in blanchett's character and in my opinion her acting wasn't as great as a lot of critics seem to think. watching this old woman in denial for what seemed to be 3 hours when it was only 98 minutes is not an enjoyable experience. the movie has two comedians and the only parts I laughed at were how awkward the serious scenes came off.
This type of movie could have worked if it had more depth. blanchett's character doesn't fit into the typical woody allen movie, if this movie accomplished anything it's highlighting that fact in bold. it was just a big disappointment and the blame has to go to allen. I can't blame the actors for believing in the movie or giving it a good try. I still respect allen but if he produces more movies like this you can count me out.
