Saved up for a birthday treat for myself, this film did not disappoint. Woody Allen proves again that he can write and portray complex characters with the best combinations of pathos, comedy and tragedy, even miles away from the beloved New York streets that have served him well. While Jasmine is not a person anyone would want to know or love, she embodies elements that we can all recognize and empathize with, even if we don't like it. The surprise twist only complicates your feelings towards her, and the ending leaves you with enough space to consider multiple futures for everyone. An excellent addition to the Woody Allen canon, and a breathtaking performance from Cate Blanchett.
