    We should be king, not a kingmaker. But Joan's answer is given in the film, it's her choice. Perhaps in those times, she needed to publish her work as Joe in order to be treated fairly. Real writers don't write for fame, they want to...

    It's more dramatic than 45 Years, especially the ending of the male lead is a bit deliberate. The female lead's performance in the male lead's speech deserves a Best Actress...

    #AirChina, using her husband's male and academic identity to achieve the goal of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, leaving her husband after indirectly winning the award, taking the initiative to expose the incident, and setting off a storm in the literary world's "crazy wife" setting (feeling) will be better than A "good wife" who has endured a scumbag husband for 40 years is much more interesting (is there a unilateral victim in a long-term relationship?). In terms of acting skills, I...

    2.5 The themes and ideas are very interesting, but the narrative of this story is very boring, and the viewer knows the truth all at once. Here I think the viewer should not know it so quickly, and it will be better to expose it slowly later. The actors acted very well, especially the heroine. When the heroine was young, the actors were chosen to be close to the heroine in demeanor and temperament. Excellent casting. The photography was...

    I think the script is completely OK, I don't know where there are so many people who are not appreciative and are making blind comments. The big heroine movie, seeking benevolence, benevolent, self-knowledge, you are sad and angry, the old lady has forty years of marriage and career, all the pros and cons have long been weighed. Even if the male-dominated society suppresses the achievements of women, talented and wise people will always find a way out by their own abilities. If they are unable...

    Glenn Close's mood shift is fantastic. Several Oscar highlights, especially the series of glances and expressions when the light hit her face during her husband's speech, are really...

    This woman is too tragic, which makes the movie very depressing and uncomfortable. They are not love, but a deal at the beginning. Women need the appearance of men to publish works, and men need the talents of women. In fact, it is a win-win situation. Women are starting to choose this man. At times, I actually knew what I was facing, so I endured it. I don't appreciate such a woman, but it's also a reality. The acting skills and character portrayal are five-star, but Samsung simply doesn't...

    The woman behind the writer is reminiscent of "The Adelmans", but compared with the latter's protracted French love entanglement, this film is a fixed-frame twilight marriage, which is bound to be a bit more fatigued. The story revolves around the Nobel Prize incident. While arousing the conflict between husband and wife, it also revealed the secret of the wife's suppressed talent. The screenwriter is not very good, at least the suspense is not made, and the flashbacks are very perfunctory. Of...

    It is really a work to be read in comparison with "The Adelmans". Compared with the writer of the good wife in France who is willing to love, the heroine created by Glenn Close does have a more complete mental journey, showing her wandering step by step. The stagnation of life between personal achievement, social reality and family identity, but also sacrifices the credible foundation of the couple's mutual bond, so that the ending has to use "I don't know why I want to marry you" such...

The Wife quotes

  • Joan Castleman: I am a kingmaker.

  • Joan Castleman: I can't do it anymore, Joe. I can't do it. I can't take it. I can't take the humiliation of holding your coat and arranging your pills and picking the crumbs out of your beard and being shoved aside with all the other wives to talk about some goddamn shopping trip while you, while you say to all the, the gathering sycophants that your wife doesn't write! Your wife, who just won the Nobel Prize!

    Joe Castleman: So, if I'm such an insensitive and talentless fucking piece of shit, why the fuck did you marry me?
