The film is most effective when it allows the couple at its centre to simply play off each other. Full Review

Rating: 8/10 -- The Wife is one well-executed example of the proverbial woman behind the man, and what it cost her to stay put. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t’s Close who takes it to the next level with a powerfully implosive performance that doubles as an accumulation of details that define a marriage.

The Wife has brilliant, memorable scenes, but its Glenn Close who carries the weight of the movie on her shoulders with ease. Full Review

Like a bomb ticking away toward detonation, Glenn Close commands the center of The Wife: still, formidable and impossible to look away from.

Rating: 3/5 -- A good story, interesting characters, and a great cast can't quite make up for the leaden and obvious filmmaking. Full Review

Product Description:

Swedish director Björn Runge's drama film is based on American writer eg Wolitzer's 2003 novel of the same name. Glenn Close stars as an ageing wife and mother accompanying her egotistical husband (Jonathan Pryce) on a trip to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Burdened by further evidence of her husband's infidelities and the weight of her own unrealized literary ambitions, she refuses to play the role of a self-effacing and supportive wife any longer.
