Cate Blanchett carried Blue Jasmine through its uneven storytelling. Her portrayal of Jasmine gave the film a strong center, even when the plot felt scattered. Blanchett showed Jasmine’s arrogance and vulnerability in a way that felt real and painful. She made Jasmine’s emotional breakdown feel raw and layered, adding depth to every scene. Without Blanchett’s performance, the film would have struggled to leave an impact. She turned it into a fascinating study of a flawed and broken character.
