The Ex-Wife

About This Movie

So, 'The Ex-Wife' is an interesting little gem from 2017. You’ve got this mix of interpersonal tension with Klara, Anna, and Vera—each character wrapped up in their own struggles. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a slow burn, really digging into the emotional undercurrents of love and obsession. I found the atmosphere quite intimate, with some raw performances that showcase the characters' vulnerabilities. Katja Wik's debut is marked by a unique visual style, and there’s a certain rawness in how the narrative unfolds, especially with some clever practical effects that add to the realism. It’s not your typical rom-com, and I think that’s what sets it apart.

'The Ex-Wife' had a limited release, and it's somewhat of a hidden find for collectors. Not much physical media has been produced, and it has developed a small but dedicated interest among those who appreciate character-driven narratives. The scarcity of this title makes it a curious addition to any collector's database, especially for those who delve into independent films and unique directorial debuts.
