Blue Jasmine



What I liked:

  • Cate Blanchett is fabulous.  I could see her getting another Academy Award nomination for this role.
  • Alec Baldwin is perfectly cast as a charming crook.
  • Sally Hawkins holds her own against Blanchett.
  • Andrew Dice Clay, Bobby Cannavale and Louis C.K. make for a talented and interesting supporting cast.
  • Peter Sarsgaard, Alden Ehrenreich and Michael Stuhlbarg also star.
  • It's Vinny from Doogie Howser M.D.!
  • It's an interesting look at the wife being a victim in her husband's scandal.
  • It was written and directed by Woody Allen.

What I didn't like:
  • At times it is slow and boring.
  • It lacks comedic and sarcastic undertones of previous Allen movies.



Grade: B
