It's a pleasure seeing Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce play husband and wife in this tragicomedy of a film. The story opens in 1992 with Joseph Castleman getting a phone call at oh-dark-thirty from the Nobel Committee telling him he's won the Nobel Prize for literature. As the story moves forward, it also flashes back to tell the story of this marriage, where it started, and how it got to where it is. Watch carefully and you'll click onto the secret long before the reveal towards the end of the film. However, the real joy in this film is watching Glenn Close's face bring nuance and substantial explanation to the events of 1992. It's a masterful performance.
