In Björn Runge‘s The Wife,  Glenn Close‘s actual daughter (Annie Starke) plays a younger version of her character, and her screen son is played by Max Irons, who is the actual son of her Reversal of Fortune co-star Jeremy Irons.  Got that?  Well, none of that matters, but I just enjoyed all those acting connections, but not as much as I enjoyed the acting clinic going on here between Close’s long-spurned wife to her newly-Nobel Prize winning author husband Jonathan Pryce.  THE PRYCE IS WRONG!!!  AND YET EVERYTHING IS OH SO RIGHT!!!  There’s nothing showy about this movie based on the book by Meg Wolitzer, but let is show you the way – how acting is done – RIGHT!
