Woody Allen films are a must for me. I always find them well directed and he seems to get stellar performances out of his actors. Blue Jasmine is no exception. Cate Blanchett is outstanding as a New York socialite fallen on hard times. The reasons for which are unravelled as the film progresses. In fact all of the cast give splendid performances. During the popcorn refill 7 minute intermission I eagerly awaited the film's restart to discover more about Jasmine's (Cate Blanchett) flawed character. That she (Jasmine) is not a particularly pleasant person does not prevent some feeling of sympathy developing for her plight. Did I enjoy the film? Yes. Was it extremely well acted and directed? Yes. However, when the end credits started to roll I sat there feeling that I had been left without a clear cut conclusion.
