    Long before the end of its nearly 10-hour run you begin to feel the limitations. Ames and Turner adapted The Miniature Wife from a short story of the same name by Manuel Gonzales, but they needed to bring a lot more to the table to justify this kind of run time. Lindy might not agree, but quite often shorter is better.

    We’re definitely on board with watching how The Miniature Wife is going to pull things off, both technically and storywise, but mainly because we’re confident that Banks can handle the challenge of playing someone shrunk down to six inches, and Macfadyen is always so good at playing weasels.

    This kind of tonal clash – trenchant marriage satire meets sci-fi meets physical comedy – can work but it needs a pin-sharp script to hold it all together. The Miniature Wife’s problem is that it doesn’t have one.
