The Wife's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
It is a smart, supremely watchable and entertaining film.
The Wrap
What ultimately works most profoundly for the film is that its intimacy, its specificity, feels less like the culmination of Joan?s life experiences and more like an epiphany, or maybe an origin story, for what?s yet to come from her.
The Hollywood Reporter
Like a bomb ticking away toward detonation, Glenn Close commands the center of The Wife: still, formidable and impossible to look away from.
Screen Daily
Despite high quality performances from Close and Pryce, the film leaves us with question marks over the credibility of the central scenario.
Variety
The Wife is Close?s film from start to finish, and several of the supporting performances fail to rise to her level, with Pryce and Slater the only ones who manage to impress in her orbit.
Variety
It has a couple of nice reversals, two or three good laugh lines, and a caustic but not too acid skewering of cultural institutions.
