	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Although marred by a couple of too-convenient plot contrivances, this often humorous drama lands firmly in the plus column among the Woodman's recent works"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Blanchett’s performance is so dominant in terms of screentime and emotional impact that the film succeeds as not only a virtuoso ensemble piece, but also an unflinchingly intimate study of the character in the title"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"[Allen's] most sustained, satisfying and resonant film since 'Match Point'"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Want to see great acting, from comic to tragic and every electrifying stop in between? See Cate Blanchett in 'Blue Jasmine' (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"It’s real 'Streetcar Named Desire' territory as the fights pile up, and if you think that doesn’t sound entertaining, know that it is, in a hypnotically catastrophic way (...) rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Edelstein New York Magazine	"It’s amazing how skilled he [Allen] is in making his old ideas seem fresh, lively, even urgent. His new drama Blue Jasmine comes this close to being a wheeze. But he sells it beautifully."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"It's one of the year's finest, most complex portrayals, in one of Allen's best films in years (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Richly chronicled characters, sharp dialogue and that stupendous centerpiece performance by Cate Blanchett are contributing factors in the best summer movie of 2013 and one of the most memorable Woody Allen movies ever (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'Blue Jasmine' belongs to Blanchett, who (...) frees it from the limitations of Allen's style, pushing it to far sharper results than any of the more traditional movies (...) that he's churned out in the past dozen or so years"	POS
