Movie Review: Blue Jasmine

There are so many thoughts rushing through Jasmine’s head that she can’t help but spout them out. She needs to voice her story, needs to say it even if nobody wants to hear it, or even if there is nobody around to hear it at all. Blue Jasmine, the latest film by prolific filmmaker Woody Allen, tracks the scrambled thoughts of a thoroughly broken woman who tries to pull her life back together. Woody Allen theoretically still has a reputation for being a comedian, and this movie could theoretically be called a comedy, but despite how funny this movie is, it’s actually a full-on modern tragedy.
