BLUE JASMINE

Woody Allen made a later-in-career mini-masterpiece with 2011’s Midnight in Paris, then turned around and made 2012’s quietly charming To Rome with Love and then, in 2013, this film, for which Cate Blanchett won a well-deserved Oscar. But hers is only one of several impressive performances, some of them somewhat unexpected. British actress Sally Hawkins, as the less affected sister to Blanchett’s high-strung Jasmine, nails her American role like she’s channeling Sarah Silverman. And speaking of comics, look at the comics who do so, so well in supporting roles: Louis C.K. and, believe it or not, Andrew Dice Clay, both of whom are utterly perfect. And as for Blanchett… wow.
