Blue Jasmine (2013)
Written and directed
by Woody Allen this film stars Cate Blanchett, Sally Hawkins, Alec
Baldwin and Bobby Cannavale. Following her husband's arrest for a
massive financial scam a woman goes to San Francisco to live with her
poor sister.
There is more than a
hint of Tennessee William's “A Streetcar Named Desire” about this
tale of a woman who is mentally unravelling. This is not the funniest
Woody Allen film by a long way and maybe not overly insightful but it
is certainly entertaining through out. What stands out most is Cate
Blanchett who is stunning in the title role and this film is worth
watching for that alone.
4/5
