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

Starring:  Olivia Colman; Benedict Cumberbatch; Kate McKinnon; Andy Samberg; Ncuti Gatwa; Sunita Mani; Zoë Chao; Jamie Demetriou; Delaney Quinn; Hala Finley; Ollie Robinson; Wells Rappaport; Allison Janney; Will Smith; Caroline Partridge; Margaret Clunie; Ollie Dabbous; Belinda Bromilow; Akie Kotabe; Emily Piggford; Paul Pape; Ranjani Brow; Robin Atkin Downes; Matt Corboy

“Jay Roach [director] proves he hasn’t lost his touch, pulling together a film that blends smart writing, impeccable timing, and powerhouse performances into something that may just be a classic new take on a rebooted story.”  (Alan Ng, Film Threat)

“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.”  (Ian Sandwell, Digital Spy)

“The Roses is a deeply funny movie — far more light than the squeamishly dour film it’s remaking.  But beneath the jokes and crab-based puns lies the answer as to why one might risk marriage in an era of skyrocketing divorce rates.”  (Jackson Weaver, CBC News)
