PLOT When Nancy Vandergroot (Kidman) suspects her husband (Macfadyen) is having an affair, she uncovers an even darker mystery.
YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN this Nicole Kidman movie. She’s a housewife and loving mother. She cooks dinner every night and looks gorgeous doing it. But there’s something wrong with her seemingly comfortable life, whether it be scheming spouses, a sudden tragedy, or — in the case of The Stepford Wives —a town that wants to turn her into a robot tradwife. Despite the white picket fences and the picture-perfect nuclear family, there’s an inner turmoil that betrays the shiny veneer of all-American suburbia. She always feels one thing: suffocated.
