BLUE JASMINE (2013) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Woody Allen

Written by - Woody Allen

Starring - Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Louis C.K., Bobby Cannevale, Andrew Dice Clay, Sally Hawkins

"Heartbreak, emotional trauma and human vulnerabilities are just some of the themes explored by Woody Allen in his film Blue Jasmine, which despite its comedic influences, is one of the most distinguished and notable dramas in his illustrious career. 

His vehicle for voicing such close character development is the titular woman, who goes from being a socialite to depending on her estranged family and working to support herself, while all the while knocking back a world of disenchantment by seeking escapism in her self-delusion. 

This complex and complete as well as certainly alive character is flattered by the performance of Cate Blanchett, who steps up to the challenge and delivers a turn that makes her character likeable, pitiful and despicable all at once."
