What did you think of Blue Jasmine? Tolerable, teeth-gritty, or actually worthy of La Cate?

[tropiavera]

Ummmm ALL OF THE ABOVE, potentially? Cate is very very good in the role of "Woody having a breakdown", but...it is a very upsetting movie on a lot of levels, Cate's in-text-undealt-with mental illnesses in a way that isn't really...concluded, or if that was the conclusion is just a fucking miasma of tragedy. Idk. It's an elegently told plot, but it is just UNRELENTING.
