A Current Film, “The Wife” Is Superb

A current film, “The Wife” based on the book by Meg Wolitzer, with Jane Anderson’s screenplay, is superb.

Glenn Close leads a fabulous cast that includes Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater, Elizabeth McGovern and Max Irons.

The film is a fascinating character study that effectively uses time, that inexorable mover, to reflect and comment on past mores and limitations, still so relevant today.
