The Roses

In The Roses, Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch deliver razor-sharp performances in this wickedly funny and emotionally charged modern twist on The War of the Roses. Directed by Jay Roach, the film unravels the glossy surface of a seemingly perfect marriage to expose the simmering rivalry, bitterness and ambition lurking beneath. When the husband’s high-powered career collapses and his wife’s culinary star begins to rise, the delicate balance of power in their relationship tips, and all-out war ensues. Colman brings biting wit and emotional depth to her role as a woman finally stepping into her own spotlight, while Cumberbatch gives a darkly hilarious and vulnerable turn as a man unravelling in the shadow of her success. Backed by a stellar ensemble cast, The Roses is a sharp, satirical comedy about love turned battlefield—at once wildly entertaining and uncomfortably relatable. In this war of egos, who gets the last word… and the last laugh?
