Quick Review: Though seemingly straightforward at first, judging by Castleman's facial expressions you could say that something's gonna get very wrong in "The Wife" later on, and it sure does, but it's not the revealing twist that makes this book adaptation work on dramatic level, it's the deep character study, and Close's bravura performance as the devoted wife who hides a shocking secret covered with pain that makes this otherwise simple-looking film so emotional and powerful.
