1. Expressen

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: Jasmine is portrayed without sentimentality, both her and her sister's worlds are colorful and many scenes are carried by solid Woody Allen humor. But that doesn't prevent this from being a tragedy from beginning to end, dark and merciless.

2. Moviezine

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Blue Jasmine" is an intense and gripping drama about crisis and cultural clashes. This is Woody Allen's best film in ages, and that's saying something! There's hardly anything to complain about when it comes to the script, cinematography, and editing. The actors also deliver incredible performances and bring their characters to life in a very believable way.

5. Borås Tidning

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Social divisions. The lack of decency. How ordinary working folks are treated as low-status while scheming Wall Street sharks who blow financial bubbles worth billions are treated like rockstars. But the biggest payoff is still Cate Blanchett. Within the context of Allen's distinctive universe, she delivers a brilliant performance as a despicable snob on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

6. Kulturbloggen

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film's only problem is that the pacing leaves something to be desired. Woody Allen is usually a master at creating forward momentum in his stories, so I'm a bit surprised that "Blue Jasmine" actually feels sluggish in places.
