Saw "The Wife. Excellent, a movie that leaves one to think about it [View all]

after it ends. At least, spouse and I did.

Glenn Close deserves the Oscar. Such subtlety yet forceful.

There are several twists and plots that one cannot discuss them without revealing how it unfolds.

I admit, the end was a bit of a cop-out but still.

Spouse and I debated of how much the late 50s and early 60s shaped the relationship between the couple. We are into Mad Men territory when the wives were expected to stay in the background, to adoringly and lovingly support their husbands. The question that we debated was: as the years went by, should the dynamic have changed?

Interesting, I remember reading about it in several months ago and then it disappeared. Too many movies competing, I suppose. And then last week I read that it has been released again, now playing at a discount theater, $2.50 a ticket..
