Saw Blue Jasmine tonight. I am a huge Woody Allen fan, and I was hugely disappointed. Props to Cate Blanchette for a mesmerizing performance, but the film is about dysfunctional people doing lousy things, lies, duplicity, shallowness, vanity, obnoxiousness, greed. It is not ennobling. Woody Allen once described himself as anhedonic- incapable of pleasure.it does not wear well in this film. Somebody please give me a contrary view. I want to better understand the kudos this film is getting.
