Blue Jasmine

A very uncomfortable, depressing, yet funny movie about mental illness and grief. The way characters interact in this movie feels so real that it often becomes uncomfortable. The non-linear structure served the plot greatly and always had me guessing. Cate Blanchett gives what is in my opinion a career best performance. There’s a lot of feminist themes in this movie, but nothing ever felt forced or on the nose. It felt very natural and heartfelt. This is a good movie to watch if you want something funny yet layered.
