3/5

Lacking the boldness of originality and substantial character development, The Artist's Wife nonetheless showcases Olin's best performance in years and a brittle brilliance from Dern.

Good performances dont always paper over the cracks, and while the cast do their best to make you care, The Artists Wife is too slight to make much of an impact.

Olin almost makes The Artist's Wife a watchable film.

3/5

But suddenly she's behaving almost as unpredictably as he is, a fact that confuses the narrative arc of Tom Dolby's drama but doesn't totally spoil it.

Bruce Dern disappears for large swaths of the movie so the story can concentrate on Lena Olin reigniting her painting career. Dern's character is much more interesting.
