“As the apparently-perfect wife of a Nobel prize-winning writer, Glen Close gives arguably her best ever performance in an adaptation of Meg Wolitzer’s novel” – The Guardian
Behind any great man, there’s always a greater woman – and you’re about to meet her. Joan Castleman (Glenn Close): a highly intelligent and still-striking beauty – the perfect devoted wife. Forty years spent sacrificing her own talent, dreams and ambitions to fan the flames of her charismatic husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his skyrocketing literary career. Ignoring his infidelities and excuses because of his “art” with grace and humour. Their fateful pact has built a marriage upon uneven compromises. And Joan’s reached her breaking point.
