More brilliance from Woody Allen and a standout performance from Cate Blanchett. Great, if not unusual cast (Louie C.K., Andrew Dice Clay). Dark with superb performances all around. I think Blanchett will get nominated for this one.

...agree completely.

All of the actors were terrific, the dailogue great and the story interesting.

Good soundtrack, too.

I don't think we were meant to sympathize with Blanchette's character - she got what she deserved.

I predict she will win the Oscar.

Was I supposed to sympathize with Cate Blanchett's character, Jasmine? That question has been bugging me since I saw it Sunday. No doubt Blanchett really worked the part. What impressed me is that I admired her performance without feeling any sympathy for her character except during one small part of the story.

It was fun to see The Dice Man and Louis C.K. and I was pleasantly surprised to see 2 guys from Boardwalk Empire.
I'm thinking Cate might get a nomination, too . . . . - Billy Wonka 16:45:29 08/25/13 (0)
Woody writes neurotic so well and has a feel for all angles of life. This was a good "Woody". Highly recommendable.
Did Dice get to talk about - - - - - Billy Wonka 20:25:36 08/17/13 (1)
the "wet spot"? I do hope so.
- I recently re-watched the final season of Entourage, and he's pretty good in that too - Jazz Inmate 10:33:51 08/23/13 (0)
  Looks like he even has a similar role in Jasmine.
