Ginger has a small apartment in San Francisco, she has two
boys and a boyfriend, Chili. She
works as a checker and stocker in a small local market and Chili is a mechanic. They were planning on Chili moving into the apartment. Ginger is divorced from Augie and he will
be leaving the area soon to work on a pipeline in Alaska. Jasmine lives in New York with her husband Hal and they have a
son, Danny. Jasmine learns Hal has
been cheating on her for a very long time and he tells her he is leaving her for one of
the women. Jasmine and Hal are very wealthy,
they lose everything, Hal goes to jail and he commits suicide. Jasmine had a mental breakdown and she comes
to San Francisco to live with her sister Ginger until she gets on her feet.
This is excellent, the casting, scenery of San Francisco and New
York, acting and the storyline.
Cate Blanchett does a wonderful performance in the lead role. She’s hanging onto everything just by a
thread at all times. Sally Hawkins
is perfectly opposite from Cate in every way in her role. There is every possible emotion in this
film. Also, a lot of humor even with the dark subject matter. 4 ½* (I loved this movie)
98 min, Drama directed by Woody Allen with Cate Blanchett,
Alec Baldwin, Peter Sarsgaard, Sally Hawkins, Andrew Dice Clay, Bobby
Cannavale.
Note: Imdb 7.9
