Review of Blue Jasmine (2013) by Yavor — 14 Aug 2016

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.
