Review of Blue Jasmine (2013) by Netflic — 25 Aug 2013
I would call the latest of Woody Allen's movies, "Blue Jasmine", definitely not the best one but quite watchable.
The movie resembles the Madoff's scandal, even though all names are different, but parallels are clearly seen.
The way the story of the main character Jasmine is told is appealing to me. Every now and then a current event triggers a memory flash from her past life, and that is how we learn what brought her to the shabby state she currently finds herself. There are numerous faults in the script (written by Woody Allen as well). Plus over-all the movie leaves some clownish aftertaste (which is not unusual for his movies). But Cate Blanchett's performance made me forget all the movie's shortcomings. Even though the whole cast is quite good, without Cate I would be disappointed about the movie as a whole.
