Blue Jasmine
Rent & Buy
After experiencing a traumatic misfortune, Jasmine French, a wealthy woman from New York, moves to San Francisco to live with her foster sister Ginger and the firm purpose of getting a new life, but she will be haunted by anxiety and memories of the past.
What critics thought
Blue Jasmine earned strong notices as one of Woody Allen's best late-career efforts, with Cate Blanchett's performance drawing near-unanimous rapture — critics struggled to find adequate language for what she does with the role. The film's debt to A Streetcar Named Desire was widely noted, and some commentators read Jasmine herself as a veiled portrait of Mia Farrow, adding an uncomfortable biographical undercurrent to an already unsettling character study.
“in all, this is the strongest, most resonant movie Woody Allen has made in years”
David Denby·The New Yorker
“Blanchett in Blue Jasmine is beyond brilliant, beyond analysis. This is jaw-dropping work, what we go to the movies hoping to see, and we do. Every few years.”
Mick LaSalle·San Francisco Chronicle
“Blanchett is the film's glory. She is miraculous at finding the bruised heart of this bullying elitist. If her struggle doesn't win respect, it does earn our empathy. The sight of Jasmine – lost, alone and unable to conjure magic out of unyielding reality – is devastating.”
