The Roses

From acclaimed director Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Bombshell) and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tony McNamara (The Favourite), THE ROSES is a biting satirical 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.
