"Blue Jasmine" is one of the best Woody Allen's films in years. It has Jasmine, played by Cate Blanchett. She is moving in with her sister, Ginger, played by Sally Hawkins, in San Francisco. Jasmine was the wife of a billionaire, who spoiled her but he did not treat her right in the end. Jasmine tries to pick herself back up in San Francisco but she starts to become the same person she was that did not work in the first place.
The actor, writing, and directing in this film is phenomenal. Woody Allen is amazing at everything he does. He was not in this film, but he uses his craziness and neurotic behavior through his characters especially the main character. In this film, Jasmine is a crazy character. She talks to herself, but she is trying to better herself and fix the problems she has in her life. And Cate Blanchett does a fantastic job because of it. Sally Hawkins and Bobby Cannavale are perfect in this film. They are both becoming well known actors and they are great in this film. Regardless that Alec Baldwin is the villain he is great in this film. Louis C.K. and Peter Sarsgaard also make great appearances in this film. This film is beautifully casted, acted, written, and it comes to together beautifully also. It shows that sometimes having a large amount of money is not always the best way to live and living a simple quaint life is almost as good. Go see another great Woody Allen film.
