All’s fair when love is war. It's Benedict Cumberbatch VS Olivia Colman at our Date Night Previews of the wildly funny satirical riot, The Roses.
Get ready for a rowdy cocktail hour with a complimentary Strawberry Daiquiri on arrival! But please try to refrain from throwing your drinks at each other like the leading couple.
From acclaimed director Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Bombshell) and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tony McNamara (The Favourite), The Roses is a biting black comedy that reimagines Warren Adler’s 1981 novel ‘The War of the Roses’. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, the film delves into the unravelling of a seemingly perfect marriage.
Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Colman) and Theo (Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites.
With a stellar supporting cast including Kate McKinnon, Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, and Ncuti Gatwa, The Roses offers a contemporary twist on a classic tale, exploring themes of ambition, identity, and the complexities of modern relationships.
