The Roses

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict 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. The Roses, directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Trumbo) and written by Tony McNamara (The Favorite, Poor Things), is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.

2025, UK/US, Directed by Jay Roach, Rated R

  • “A deftly funny remake…a sharp, dark comedy…Cumberbatch and Colman get a kick out of each other, turning every other line into a gem.”

    – William Bibbiani, THE WRAP
  • “Offers plenty of bang for your buck with its smart, side-splitting screenplay and magnificent central performances.”

    – Dan Bayer, NEXT BEST PICTURE
  • “A smart, wild, entertaining mix of droll British humour and glossy Hollywood filmmaking."

    – Caryn James, BBC,com
  • “Relentlessly entertaining.”

    – Clarisse Loughrey, INDEPENDENT (UK)
  • “It’s still got bite…Bringing fresh wit and 21st-century gender politics to Warren Adler’s witheringly anti-romantic-comedy novel, ‘Meet the Fockers’ director Jay Roach has dropped the “war” from The War of the Roses. “

    – Peter Debruge, VARIETY
  • “’The Roses’ is a savage comedy with thorns, led by a very game Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.”

    – Joey Magidson, AWARDS RADAR
