"The Wife", directed strongly by Bjorn Runge is a compelling character drama with excellent use of flashbacks to support as foundation the current state of the characters. Glenn Close is intense and nuanced in her performance - she rightly deserves an Oscar Nomination for her portrayal of trampled loyalty. I especially enjoyed the middle third of the movie with inquisitive ferreting from obsequious Christian Slater character, and a guarded Close character defending her husband and by proxy her family. Recommended 7/10
