Hollywood Elsewhere: Woody’s Blue Jasmine Is Madoff-y

Hollywood Elsewhere Movie news and opinions by Jeffrey Wells

Woody's Blue Jasmine Is Madoff-y Jun 1st 2013, 16:47 Speakeasy‘s Christoper John Farley saw Woody Allen‘s Blue Jasmine (Sony Classics, 7.26) last night, and he’s reporting that Cate Blanchett is more or less playing Ruth Madoff (or…you know, a Ruth Madoff-y character) and that her performance “will likely generate early Oscar buzz.” And that Alec Baldwin (also strong) is the Bernie-like figure, doing time for crooked financial shenanigans and leaving Blanchett to deal with the economic and emotional aftermath. Pic also stars Bobby Cannavale, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay, Sally Hawkins and Peter Sarsgaard.
