Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Wife”
The Wife is a 2018 drama film directed by Björn Runge and starring Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater, and Max Irons. The film follows Joan Castleman (Glenn Close), the long-suffering wife of successful novelist Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce). After forty years of marriage, Joan is finally getting the recognition she deserves when Joe is awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. As they travel to Stockholm to collect the award, Joan is forced to confront the sacrifices she has made over the years and the secrets she has kept from her husband.
The film opens with Joan and Joe Castleman, a successful novelist, on a plane to Stockholm, Sweden. They are there to accept Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature.

We learn that Joan had once been a promising writer herself, but she gave up her own dreams to support Joe’s career. She was the one who wrote the speeches he gave,
