Review of The Wife

The Wife (I) (2017)
9/10
Oscar performance
16 September 2018
A very well done film about a arrogant man and the student he pursued and the outcome of their marriage. Throw in the Nobel Prize as the backdrop of her finally coming to terms with the life she has and what she threw away. Johnathan Pryce is so good as the prize winner, the ever controlling man who does not have the talent but gets the praise. Glenn Close is amazing - the close ups of her anger coming to the surface through the film says so much. And then she finally speaks! A writer who wants to write the biography keeps asking questions of the wife and her son - well done. The thing I will remember most is what the ex-wife said to the writer - she was glad she took him away from her. I want to know more - what does she do with her life now, and what does she tell her children?? I loved this movie - real life well portrayed.
