The Wife

A loyal woman (Glenn Close, in a role she was born to play) accompanies her insufferably pompous husband (Jonathan Pryce, also terrific) to Stockholm, where he is slated to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. As the story unfolds, layers of their shared history peel back in one compelling way after another. You’ll be surprised and delighted by Close’s unnervingly subtle performance and this whole “smart, supremely watchable, and entertaining film” (The Guardian) from Swedish director Björn Runge and adapted from Meg Wolitzer’s novel of the same name.
