Review of The Wife

The Wife (I) (2017)
4/10
Ok but not a great story!
2 October 2023
"The Wife" falters due to its hard-to-believe premise. Despite the commendable efforts of both Jonathan Pryce and Glenn Close, the movie shines brightest during their intense exchanges. However, by its conclusion, I was left feeling indifferent due to its melodramatic turns and lamented that a talent like Close was invested in such a project.

As for the portrayal of the son's character, it is perplexing. He appears to be in his 30s but behaves much younger. Moreover, his persistent presence with his older parents is baffling. Initially, he was a minor distraction, but his character became increasingly unsettling as the film progressed.

The accolade meant for Glenn Close she did not secure. Let's hope she gets a better movie!
