History YMMV / BlueJasmine

** On the other hand, her egotistical side means she compares herself and looks down on to those based on inferior social standing, has a lack of empathy that enables her to lie about her circumstances and how much value she really has, and also clearly uses those close to her for personal gain and not simply for the sole purpose just to establish her own comfortable life. This would also explain why she chose to be a quiet conspirator to her husband's secret criminal life prior to turning him in.

** For the former, she deals with constant and daily mood swings due to environmental circumstances, tries to deal with it by taking clearly a bit too much medication and drinking, relies on relationships with others to determine her sense of self-value and future, and is perhaps even more clingy than her sister, and her ''immediate'' response to Hal leaving her for a teenager was to turn him in for his criminal activity that she had supported as it kept her lifestyle comfortable, and she seems to be disassociating when talking to herself during her misfortunes.

** Though Jasmine is not specified as having a mental disorder, she does exhibit symptoms of comorbid Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (which would explain much of her behavior throughout the film). Both of these disorders would explain why [[NeverMyFault she can never clearly see that she is accountable for her own misfortunes and misery on others]].

* JerkassWoobie: Jasmine. She is absurdly self-involved, narcissistic and has almost no consideration for the feelings of others but is so tortured by her various illnesses and traumas that it's hard not to feel a little bit bad for her. The supporting characters have a point in how terrible her past actions were, but they give her hardly any sympathy now that she's suffering the consequences for them.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/AndrewDiceClay as Augie took a lot of people by surprise with his sincere, emotional performance, especially in his final scene where he mixes explosive anger with deep-seated regret and vulnerability that shows that he and Jasmine both simply wish they could turn back the clock. He reportedly even approached Woody Allen and made clear he was coming to the project as an actor and not as his usual stand-up persona.

* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler:A wife with any intelligence dealing with a philandering husband whom they know is engaged in investment fraud could have used the blackmail threat of informing the FBI for the best divorce settlement she could get. Instead, she calls the Feds in a blind rage and thus the whole family is ruined]].
** Her lying through her teeth to Dwight about her history. Even if they hadn't run into Augie, did she really think he would never find out the truth eventually, as he himself says?
** Hal himself, who clearly expected Jasmine to simply accept his leaving her for an 18-year old and never considered that she would take revenge.

* TearJerker: Plenty, actually.
** After making a date with Dwight, Jasmine bursts into tears. You get a sense of how thoroughly wrecked she's been by the whole ordeal and how desperate she is to feel loved and secure again.
** Jasmine's breakdown at Hal's declaration that he's leaving her for an 18-year old. It's not helped by his complete lack of remorse and acting like ''she's'' the one in the wrong for being upset.
** Jasmine and Danny's scene where he rebuffs her once and for all. All flashbacks show she was a good stepmother to him and she deeply and genuinely regrets the damage she did to him and would do anything to fix it--but she can't and he won't let her even try.
