I wish there were more movies like this one.

The Wife starts off somewhat slowly, to the point where you wonder if anything is actually going to happen. Then, at the 50-minute mark, the "twist" of the story kicks in, and suddenly it becomes riveting.
October 09, 2018
Six Oscar nominations later, the luminous Glenn Close leaves the audience awestruck with a performance that slowly simmers to a devastating climax.
October 11, 2018
The reason to see "The Wife" is to see Close in action.
October 15, 2018
A story whose dramatic weight falls on the shoulders of a sublime Glenn Close, who lends her saddest smile, her frown and her lost look to a woman who begins to claim her own voice. [Full review in Spanish]
September 06, 2018
Close owns this movie, from beginning to end; it's a performance of such intelligence and subtlety that only when the movie is long over do you start wondering about whether the plot holds up.
September 20, 2018
With Glenn Close in the lead role, it's... unexpectedly poignant and powerful.
October 10, 2018
This is a career watershed for Glenn Close. As Joan, she plays a woman who has chosen to live a life of deception, which has with the passing of time become self-deceit.
September 10, 2018
The Wife is that increasingly rare offering, a commercially viable film that also makes you rethink your assumptions about talent and who gets to wield it.

Too bad we don't buy any of it - not the initiating circumstances of the secret, nor any of its fallout.
September 07, 2018
Other than the performances, there is nothing here audiences haven't seen more times than they have their own feet.
September 21, 2018
Watch Close's face in these early scenes; imagine what she's feeling because you will imagine something much different by the end.
