Blanchett is impressive as a woman constantly teetering on the edge of collapse; there's a perpetual sense something tragic simmers beneath her constructed facade.

It's narratively uneven but the occasional lapses of focus are rescued by Cate Blanchett's riveting lead performance.

Lives constructed on pretense can only stand for so long. Watching them collapse is appalling but undeniably entertaining.

"Blue Jasmine" is that rare film that's both a true ensemble piece and a showcase for its lead.

A sharply observed, post-economic crash comedy-drama that boasts a formidable performance by Cate Blanchett and addresses such pertinent real-world concerns as class, gender and corporate criminality in urban America.

Blue Jasmine could've been more comedic, but Blanchett's heavy performance really gave this story a new life on its own.

There's a reason why Woody Allen's screenplays have been nominated for 15 Academy Awards (R). Comic genius, dramatic wit, sharp observation, great characters. With Blue Jasmine, he has taken effete snobbery to glorious heights.

Andrew Dice Clay holding his own against Cate Blanchett? Now I've seen it all.

While Blue Jasmine is first and foremost a character study and a showcase for Blanchett's impeccable acting skills, it's also a meditation on the idea of what we deserve versus what we think we deserve, and the intersection of standards and entitlement.

There is all this talent -- and so little reason for it in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.
