Critics Consensus

Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine finds the director in peak late-period form -- and benefiting from a superb cast led by Cate Blanchett.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

It's brilliantly watchable, if not mesmerising; and brilliantly performed, particularly by Cate Blanchett, who will knock your socks off, and may knock them off so explosively there is every chance you will never retrieve them again.

One Room With A View

Blue Jasmine weaponises Blanchett's elegant image against us, showing a character who is trying with all her might to maintain this glamour that is falling down around her. Seriously, she's amazing in this one.

Reel Talk Online

... what a fine way to revere one of Williams' most adapted dramas with a modern take that thrusts its slowly malfunctioning central character into a new situation that only hastens her demise.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The one towering achievement of Blue Jasmine that is worth your attention is the lead performance of Cate Blanchett.

Deep Focus Review

Allen has made an unforgettable character study of a fascinating, despicable, sympathetic, and engaging figure and those around her.

Keith & the Movies

Blanchett visualizes her struggles through every fidget, every bead of sweat, and every outburst. She’s not a likable character by any stretch but she’s simply mesmerizing.

It was organized fine, but ended in a way I wouldn't recommend. Time frames are insinuated and there isn't enough clarity for me on the entire overall facts that transpired

73%. 8/22/25. Alex loves it because it feels relatable for women. I thought it was solid. Cate's character is not only logically depressed, but also lacks awareness and is tough to root for. There really aren't likable characters. I do like how they go back and forth from the past and present, and slowly reveal how Cate ended up where she is. Was a good twist when you realize she snitched on her husband and basically put herself in that position. Lots of irony with her smack talking her sister's relationship choices when her ex husband lost all their money. Decent film, just couldn't get that into it. 2/5 rewatch

Phenomenal! Woody Allen basically updates “A Streetcar Named Desire” and sets it in the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008. No matter how much I can praise the script, it is Cate Blanchett that truly deserve almost all of the praise for this film. There have been two actresses in the twenty first century that have given film performances for the ages: one is Charlize Theron in “Monster” and the other is Cate Blanchett for this film and for “Tar”. Her final scene is beyond astounding. I cannot recommend this movie enough.

This movie was something I happened to find out about, and did not disappoint! Figured if Woody Allen wrote, and directed it, would show promise, Cate Blanchetts performance was mesmerizing, and totally Oscar worthy, the supporting casts were also memorable, was very well written, and truly enjoyable to watch.
