Review of Blue Jasmine

I would have really liked a more dramatic ending, a murder or a vicious attack of sorts, it just would have made so much more sense with the story line. Watching a woman turn into the crazy lady in the park talking to herself was just such a letdown. And the tolerance the others had for this woman was completely unbelievable considering their history with her, she would have been dumped on the street from the get-go. There were opportunities to tone down the drama and make a lighter film but they for some reason weren't utilized. I understand why people may have really enjoyed it but it just was an irritation for me and was just glad when the story finally concluded, well, sort of concluded. I'll give it credit as the performances were strong and that was really the only thing holding this film together for me.
