Review of The Third Wife (2019) by Ty Burr for Boston Globe — 05 Jul 2019
It’s a strong story with devastating implications, but also one told at an artistic remove that renders its meanings less subtle than diminished. There’s a fury underlying this film that goes unexpressed to the point of almost going unacknowledged, and it saps The Third Wife of a strength and momentum it could use.
If Ash Mayfair ever taps into that fury, she may become a filmmaker to reckon with.
