Reviews


100
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
It is a smart, supremely watchable and entertaining film, and Close gives a wonderful star turn.
88
Observer - Rex Reed
Soars above the ordinary with a timely narrative and a magnetic performance by Glenn Close that is nothing short of miraculous.
86
TheWrap - Todd Gilchrist
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.
83
The Film Stage - Jordan Ruimy
As fraught with drama as this powder keg of heightened circumstances may be, make no mistake, The Wife is more than an actor’s showcase. The film itself is superb, a ticking time-bomb of simmering tension which benefits from the audience knowing as little as possible in advance.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Jon Frosch
Like a bomb ticking away toward detonation, Glenn Close commands the center of The Wife: still, formidable and impossible to look away from.
