Woody Allen movies are like the anniversary BJ's you get from your spouse. They only happen once a year, and after it's done, you can hardly wait for the next one.

Woody is living in his own world. So devoid of reality that you can't take the movie seriously at all. Who talks like this? If some bitch said to me in my mansion "this garden is so established" I would be like listen, you have 2 options: 1) start sucking or 2) run away before I shoot you in the face you weirdo. It's like they are theater actors in real life, it's just bizarre and unbelievable.

A bunch of broad, two-dimensional caricatures - many of whom will make you wonder if Woody Allen has, in fact, ever actually spoken to or interacted with another human being - in search of a plot. Sally Hawkins is very good, at least.

There is something impressive about the way Allen shows the implosion of a universe, but the film offers so few pleasures to the audience that it can only really be measured by the power of its insights and the strength of its performances, which did not convince this viewer as much as others. The harsh moral light that Allen insists on casting is indeed something of a bracing tonic in a world that has mostly given up the notion that lives can be judged. Still, something of a disappointment.

This is seriously like a Mike Leigh movie. The supporting characters are pretty broad, but Blanchett is amazing here. I guess you can accuse this of "using" mental illness for a story like people have argued with Silver Linings Playbook. On the other hand, this doesn't have the dumb redemption qualities of that film. Weirdly harrowing, it's basically the opposite of any movie Woody Allen has made in 30 years.

Cate Blanchett is formidable, in all the senses of the word. This isn't the realistic, 'Hannah and Her Sisters'/'Husbands and Wives'-Woody; rather, it's a more heightened dark comedy of (stereotypical) manners. Casting is phenomenally successful across the board, and the heart provided by characters Chili and Augie counterpoints the tang of unbecomingly aloof satire.

One of Woody Allen's all-time best character studies (!). 'Blue Jasmine' is - thank God - stripped of the lightweight satire and semi-cheesy nostalgia of his last two films instead bringing forward an equally horrifying and irresistible portrait of the post-financial crisis hangover embodied by a never better Cate Blanchett and terrific ensemble performances.

Will rightly be held in the same regard as Allen's absolute best films; this is a character study of immense intricacy. Much has been made of this being a straight Allen drama, but it's darkly comic too. Blanchett's performance is simply a towering, all encompassing work of genius, but credit must also be given to the supurb Hawkins who at no point is dwarfed by the hugeness of Blanchett's performance. I had some minor complaints, but they're not worth bleating about. Highly recommended.

Oh look, a Woody Allen movie that's set in New York City, tries/fails to be funny, and features neurotic self-absorbed white people who spend two hours freaking out about their first-world problems. Certain scenes are worth a watch for the great performances of two Boardwalk Empire alumni. Other than that, this film stinks.

The only thing worse than a poor, pointless production, is a well done one where you walk out saying, "what am I supposed to do with that?" You can't blame it on the lack of talent. Is it there so we can point to the tragic figure who is suffering from self-induced blindness and say, Ha!, that's not me? There's no upside from that in it for me.

Good luck to all other actresses who will compete in Best Actress category in Oscars this year. Cate Blanchett is absolutely sensational! Since this is a comedic performance and a great satire for all the Valley Girls out there, it's definitely not an overacting. Cate Blanchett is the heart, mind and body of this film. She IS Blue Jasmine. Film itself is not great overall but Woody makes 1 good 1 bad movie these days. This is his good year. Not Midnight in Paris good, but likeable enough.

While the writing and plotting were at times weak, the ensemble cast carries it extraordinarily, particularly Blanchett. Jasmine is an entitled, wealth-obsessed jerk who cares more about how she appears to people than the people themselves. And yet Blanchett somehow manages to pull some sympathy from the viewer through her collapse, although not a lot. The issues of class and happiness were reasonably well explored, though SF as the home of the poor, working class girl was kinda hilarious.

Where has THIS Woody Allen been for the last 20 years? Mature, focused, insightful, character-driven, and wildly entertaining, this movie exemplifies Allen at his absolute best. His time-shifting structure, much like in Annie Hall, gives scenes a dramatic punch. And this is some of his absolute best casting. Blanchett gives the best performance I've ever seen in an Allen film, and the supporting cast is excellent all around. This film sits alongside Annie Hall and C&M as one of Allen's greats.

My biggest problem with this is that I found Jasmine to be an increasingly pathetic and detestable character throughout. Blanchett's performance is brilliant, but it becomes tainted by how much I just disliked the character. By the end she seemed more like the villain than Baldwin to me. I thought the sister's story was much more engaging and would have liked to see more of that and Louis C.K.

cate blanchett carried this film. my god was she phenomenal. woody allen owes her a lot for what this film ultimately became, because i think without her, it would have been one of his more mediocre endeavours. the film succeeded so profoundly as a character study. i wasn't struck with thematic catharsis here, the way i was with midnight in paris, but i think after that, this is my favourite allen film because it manages to get under the superficial skin (unlike much of allen's canon).

As a former Bay Area resident I can't help but be disappointed that Allen mostly used tight shots of Blanchett and interior scenes instead of highlighting the beauty of San Francisco as he did with Paris in "Midnight." And I do wonder if the use of San Francisco as the town where the poor blue-collar sibling lives was intentional for comedic effect.

Others seem to love it but to me BJ is one of Allen's weakest and most tiresome movies. Blanchett may act well but her character Jasmine is the sort of desperate, egocentric, repetitive wretch you want to cast into the gutter and abandon ASAP - not spend 90 minutes stuck with. I found the rest of the film - the themes of money, class and suitable partners; the other characters and locations - bland and banal. I can't believe the mind that came up with Midnight in Paris can spew out such tosh.

Amazing acting from a strong cast - most notably Blanchett and Hawkins - raise Woody Allen's latest film above the disjointed writing that leaves a little to be desired. Its structure of flashbacks slowly reveal the kind of person Blanchett's character is, but despite having an intriguing point-of-view on the 1% of America, I didn't really take away much from it.

What we have here is a just a great film. Blue Jasmine manages to deliver not only amazing performances but also a compelling tale to follow of America's elite and the search for necessity.

Truthfully, then, Blue Jasmine is moving and illuminating and beautifully acted. It is also bitterly profane and tragically bleak. While some have called it a comedy, it is of the saddest sort I've ever seen. There is occasional levity, but little hope. It only mutters to itself its anguish and pain in the dark of the theater (pluggedin.com)

Cate Blanchett is phenomenal, but you know that; there's much else here to appreciate too. It's a great story - Streetcar meets that Hey Arnold! episode where Rhonda's famly go broke. But, er, better than that. The screenplay is sharp and often raw, pithy but natural. And supporting cast are top-shelf, from Hawkins and Cannavale's down-and-dirty couple to Baldwin's scuzzy businessman and CK's horny audio engineer. Hell, I loved the whole film. But I liked To Rome With Love, so what do I know?

A modern-day Woman Under the Influence with Blanchett giving a performance as memorable and frightening as Gena Rowlands. She's absolutely brilliant. It's also perhaps Allen's harshest yet, surpassing even Crimes & Misdemeanors and Match Point, both of which were laced with laughs or thrills throughout. Blue Jasmine is levied by neither; it's a miserable experience but one of Allen's most touching and heartfelt films.

Cate Blanchett running into Andrew Dice Clay at that exact right moment near the end of the movie is so unlikely that it might as well have been supernatural.

I totally agree that the Best Actress 2014 should go to Kate Blanchett for her amazing performance in BJ. She is simply incredible to watch as her life falls apart a little bit more each day in this wonderful Woody Allen character study. Totally believable, Totally consistent, and supported superbly by the excellent cast around her. Her story is told in flashback, and the editing, direction and script help make this one of the most enjoyable films I have seen for many months.

One of Woody's (few) late-career gems, "Blue Jasmine" is an effective and occasionally gut-wrenching psychological study of a broken woman, portrayed superbly by Cate Blanchett. Allen's script isn't without its contrivances and his direction is merely passable, but the power of the performances, the delicious bits of dark comedy and the overall remarkable portrayal of a deeply troubled person contribute to a compelling and emotionally forceful picture.

This marks another time I've fallen for the 'Match Point' effect. You see I know that Allen's movies and especially the latest ones tend to be very little more than borefests filled with his paper-mache characters rattling on and on. But 'Match Point' was actually very good. No characters with chatterbox syndrome and an actual story. And not bad execution. So every now and again when there's a new Allen's film, I watch it hoping it's gonna be another 'Match Point'. Not this time.

Blanchett's performance in the final hour is very impressive and raises the film up quite a bit, and the rest of the performances are pretty solid, but otherwise the film is a bit of a mess. The opening half hour is just the film fumbling about trying to find its footing with uninteresting thin characterizations and while the writing has some great moments it doesn't flow very well. Still, it comes together well enough to be worthwhile despite the flaws.

Blanchett's performance has been rightly praised, many critics comparing her to Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire.

Amazing performance from Cate Blanchett as she depicts the downward spiral of a disgraced socialite. Her husband is a con man in business and life. Her extravagant pampered life crashes down and she struggles to cope with it and retain her sanity. She is an elegant train wreck. I really disliked how disjointed this felt. The editing reduced it to an almost random barrage of cut scenes with many good gritty scenes haphazardly strewn together.

Blue Jasmine is a well-acted, oddly captivating tragedy that doesn't really go anywhere. Blanchett does a great job capturing Woody Allen's neuroticism in her portray of a woman unhinged, and Hawkins is always a pleasure to watch, this time as an oddball with an American accent. The film is at times funny, more often depressing and it's a real quandary whether to pity Blanchett's character or to pity every character she comes in contact with.

Woody Allen kicks Blanchett in the ass. It's like he watched Black Swan and thought 'Yea, why not'. Like Portman, Blanchett gets scrunched up & dragged kicking and screaming through mental glass but upon trying to rebuild herself, Allen pushes her down some stairs.

Quite blunt and harsher than we're used to, but one of the finest of the few fine dramas that speckle Allen's post-millennium barrage of middling comedies. Exalts Hawkins' modest, easily contented character, but focuses on her step-sister (formidably handled by Blanchett), an anti-heroic narcissist in the throes of a long nervous breakdown over losing her wealth and status. Cruel and sympathetic by almost equal measures, edges a little sketchy but the confident strokes in its center hit hard.

Functioning as recession revenge porn on some level, Blue Jasmine is about complicity and how you can function within the decisions you've made for yourself. Jasmine is an extremely selfish, cruel person, but you can't help but feel sorry for her; she's been ostracized for doing the right thing for all of the wrong reasons. There's some devastating stuff, plus a lot of humor along with surprisingly few Allen tics. Great stuff.

Michael Bay-movies have more food for thought. And everyone raves about it, like it's forbidden to amdit, that Allen hasn't been interested in his figures probably since the 80s.

This is another enjoyable Woody Allen movie. It is not a surprise that the film has a excellent ensemble cast. Cate Blanchett is excellent, she has to play a very unlikeable character. This film is a must see if you are a fan of the films by Woody Allen.

So slick the stereotype-ness fades and is forgiven, time-tinkering gives rhythm and balances building tensions brilliantly. A lovely mix of themes and allusions played perfectly.
