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.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

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

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.

Let me tell you how I found out about this movie. I heard somebody mentioning it on Youtube and when I heard what’s it about I was f*ckn sold. It’s about a socialite Jasmine who basically lost everything and was forced to move to her sister who lives with her two kids and has a completely opposite lifestyle of what Jasmine was used to. She got a taste of what it’s like to have a job, forget about the comfort and to face the same challenges ordinarily people have to deal with in the everyday life. This was entertaining and sometimes painful to watch how she was struggling because Kate was so convincing, she nailed it. I really enjoyed watching this movie.

GREAT MOVIE!!! Woody Allen does it again........Cinema brilliance!! Superb cast and Cate Blanchett is hysterical as she unravels in this movie gem! It's great to see her playing this out of sorts character who seems all too real - like someone everyone knows in life. The supporting cast is ridiculously good as well! Lot's of laughs too! A MUST WATCH!!!

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
