Cate Blanchett is mesmerising as the self-centred New York socialite Jasmine in Woody Allen’s latest comedy. When everything in her life falls to pieces, including her marriage to wealthy businessman Hal (Alec Baldwin), Jasmine loses every last vestige of her former life. Penniless and in need of a job, she moves into her sister Ginger’s modest apartment in San Francisco to try to pull herself back together again.
