The Wife
Joan, a smart woman who has endured so much for her husband's happiness and his arrival at the desired success. She bore even his betrayals and excuses. She spent forty years sacrificing her talents, dreams and ambitions in order to achieve her husband's highest positions in the field of his literary career. She ignores his betrayals and excuses for his art, but perhaps that will be followed by greater sacrifices.

The reason to see "The Wife" is to see Close in action.

Too bad we don't buy any of it - not the initiating circumstances of the secret, nor any of its fallout.

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.

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.

Other than the performances, there is nothing here audiences haven't seen more times than they have their own feet.

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]

Watch Close's face in these early scenes; imagine what she's feeling because you will imagine something much different by the end.

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.

I wish there were more movies like this one.

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.

With Glenn Close in the lead role, it's... unexpectedly poignant and powerful.
