The Miniature Wife review  Matthew Macfadyen is wasted in this pointless comedy
"Matthew Macfadyen started his career in a 1998 TV film adaptation of Wuthering Heights as Hareton Earnshaw, Heathcliff's whipped dog, and has been giving us brilliant incarnations of beta cucks ever since."
"Most recently, of course, he gave us the greatest Wambsgans there will ever be, courtesy of Jesse Armstrong's masterpiece Succession, where his performance was endlessly clever, subtle and just as astonishing."
"In The Miniature Wife, Macfadyen stars as genius scientist Les Littlejohn who accidentally shrinks his wife Lindy down to 6in tall, setting the stage for shenanigans and hi jinks."
Matthew Macfadyen has built a career portraying morally questionable characters, starting with Hareton Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights. His role as Mr. Darcy came a decade after Colin Firth's iconic portrayal. Most notably, his performance as Tom Wambsgans in Succession was praised for its cleverness and subtlety. Upcoming, he stars in The Miniature Wife as a scientist who accidentally shrinks his wife, setting the stage for comedic and possibly satirical elements, especially given the characters' backgrounds and aspirations.
