Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Wife (2018)

From the trailers it looked like a scream-fest, which made this another "Oh crap, it's been nominated. Now I have to watch it" movies for me.

But wow. This was not just a powerhouse performance by Glenn Close, it was a brilliant story that almost functioned as a mystery. We see flashbacks to provide the couple's history and start to piece together what it all means but, until the very end, we can't be sure we know what we think we do.

Also: Close should win that Oscar.
