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.
The Roses is a savage comedy with thorns, led by a very game Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Roses is an outrageous, scathingly hilarious good and horrific time from beginning to end, one of the most vicious, sweet, poignant and fabulously nasty comedies in ages.
