Speaking of The Wife, the movie has garnered praise from audience and critics alike. "Glenn Close is the show-stealer of this film, and rightly so. Her long career has been about playing characters with complexity and shades. In Joan, Close uses her ability to do physically little with her face and yet convey many emotions with perfection. She gives her character her pain, her conviction and her defiance without any obvious tricks." - Read Scroll.in's review about The Wife.
