The Roses (MA 15+)

The Roses movie poster

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nose dives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites.

The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.

Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Olivia Colman, Allison Janney, Kate McKinnon, Jamie Demetriou, Ncuti Gatwa, Zoë Chao, Belinda Bromilow

Director: Jay Roach

★★★★ "It’s Colman and Cumberbatch at the top of their games" AARP

★★★★ "With solid lead performances that make the sometimes barbed, often heartfelt and tender comedy and drama pop, and a stacked ensemble that only enhances what's already on the table, The Roses is a raw riot." FORBES

★★★★ "Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch are deliciously savage in this War of the Roses remake" DAILY TELEGRAPH UK

★★★★ "[a] Witty remake with great performances" AGE OF GEEK

★★★★ "Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch are sublime" TIMES UK

★★★★ "The Roses is a deeply funny movie — far more light than the squeamishly dour film it's remaking." CBC NEWS

★★★★ "It's an unmissable chance to see two of Britain's greats on top form in a war of words where the real winner is the audience." DIGITAL SPY

★★★★ "Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch are relentlessly entertaining" INDEPENDENT UK

★★★★ "A smart, wild, entertaining mix of droll British humour and glossy Hollywood film-making." BBC
