Movie Reviews: Blue Jasmine


Opening in just 6 theaters, Woody Allen's latest film, Blue Jasmine, is receiving some of his best reviews ever, thanks mostly to the performance of Cate Blanchett.





Manohla Dargis in the New York Times writes:

"Her character, Jasmine French is brilliantly brought to quivering life by Ms. Blanchett in Allen's most sustained, satisfying and resonant film since Match Point."





David Denby in The New Yorker says:

"Blanchett gives the most complicated and demanding performance of her movie career. Blue Jasmine is the strongest, most resonant movie Woody Allen has made in years."





Claudia Puig in USA Today says of Blanchett's performance:

"It's one of the year's finest, most complex portrayals, in one of Allen's best films in years."





Left-handed praise comes from Rex Reed in the New York Observer.

"I do not consider Jasmine a typical Woody Allen comedy. It's better than anything you might imagine."
