I saw Woody Allen’s latest: “Blue Jasmine!” Wow. It was terrific. It’s as much about mental illness as anything. Cate Blanchett gives a kick ass performance that was so amazing that at one point I wanted to cheer after one of her scenes. I am amazed at how troubling it was to watch her disintegrate. She killed it!!! I am surprised at how much it affected me. I’m a big Allen fan and it did my heart good to see him deal with characters who weren’t just rolling in dough. All the old stuff is there: humor, liars, infidelity, fraglity and a lot of sweat. Grown folk’s movie for sure.
I feel a little crazy myself after watching it!
