درجہ بندی اور جائزے

Kate Blanchett shines as a fickle, fragile and egocentric socialite blind to the feelings of those around her. The promise she showed in Notes on a Scandal is back and then some. Woody Allen's films can sometimes get bogged down in their own complexity but here he handles things very well indeed. The style reminded me of a lavish Mike Leigh - with a strong feeling of improvisation and class conflict. Definitely worth a watch.

The characters are awkward and unlikable and the opening is a clunky grating explanation of the Cate Blanchetts predicament infact that's all it seems to be for the first twenty minutes. Maybe it gets better I don't know and never will because there are better things to do and spend your money on, things that might make you or someone else happy, there are funny videos of dogs on youtube and they're free and the dogs can brown tongue themselves.

It's worth watching for Cate's performance alone. The entire cast is very good and the story amazingly bittersweet. Jasmine is a great and complicated character, and her story will keep you intrigued the whole time.
