Synopsis
From the best-selling novel by Meg Wolitzer, THE WIFE tells the story of Joan Castleman (Academy Award nominee Glenn Close): A highly intelligent and still-striking beauty – the perfect devoted wife. Forty years spent sacrificing her own talent, dreams and ambitions to fan the flames of her charismatic husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his skyrocketing literary career. Ignoring his infidelities and excuses because of his "art" with grace and humour. Their fateful pact has built a marriage upon uneven compromises. And Joan’s reached her breaking point. On the eve of Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature, the crown jewel in a spectacular body of work, Joan's coup de grace is to confront the biggest sacrifice of her life and secret of his career. The Wife is a poignant, funny and emotional journey; a celebration of womanhood, self-discovery and liberation…
Reviews

The Wife is a gradually paced character study that expresses its take on the patriarchy and the politics of literary prestige but above all – it is a reminder to audiences that Glenn Close is a magnificent actress.

“Is that Hugh Jackman in a soap opera?” was what I asked myself when I first saw this film’s poster. It wasn’t. In fact, The Wife doesn’t seem like an appealing film at all on the outlook. But follow these words as we look in closer…
 
Distributed by Sony Picture Classics, The Wife had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. The story provides us access behind the closed and often well-guarded doors of a literary family – The Castlemans: an iconic writer, a ‘long-suffering’ spouse, their sapling son yearning for literary success and an unperturbed daughter.
 
The story kicks off when we observe Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce) picking up the phone to be informed that he has just won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The scene in which this is revealed is captured with such elegance and emotional veracity, it sets the foundation for everything about to come next.
 
Taking its time to unravel, the slow-burn drama has its focus sharply on the titular characters’ journeys as they each try to find something they’ve never had. Having been based on a novel by Meg Wolitzer, it is no surprise that these character dimensions are neatly developed and advanced as we move along the story. The narrative itself doesn’t pull any truly unexpected surprises, but that’s not why we’re here.
 
The film is a classic drama about a small family, set against a grand literary backdrop. Without greedy prefixes like action or horror or romantic, its simplicity is what makes this cinematic affair so compelling. At points where the drama peaks in this film, there won’t be nary a whisper you’ll hear. The Wife is a gradually paced character study that expresses its take on the patriarchy and the politics of literary prestige but above all – it is a reminder to audiences that Glenn Close is a magnificent actress.
