Review of The Wife (2017) by Stefano C — 21 Jan 2019
There is a piece of dialog in the movie that is exactly my review of it, and as it is not a spoiler either, here it is:
"- You're a really gifted writer, David. But you know that. I liked your story. Well-constructed.
-But?
- Well, there's always a "but", I don't completely buy what you did with the couple. The blowhard husband, the stoic wife with the repressed rage. We've seen it before. it's a cliche. I think you can do better.".
I do not know how much self conscious this moment wanted to be, but these were my thought exactly at the end credits.
The story is a cliche, but I did not mind it much because the characters were so well written, the story so rightly focused and the performances amazing, that was impossible for me to consider this movie anything less than very good.
