Joan Castleman (Close) has sacrificed years of her life as well as her own ambitions to support her husband Joe (Pryce), a revered literary scholar and academic, despite his numerous infidelities and condescending behaviour.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Glenn Close dazzles in her most layered and emotional performance in years, which should hopefully steer her closer to that sought-after and long overdue Oscar than ever before.
