The Roses
Directed by Jay Roach
Livet verkar enkelt för det perfekta paret Ivy och Theo: framgångsrika karriärer, ett kärleksfullt äktenskap och fantastiska barn. Men bakom den perfekta fasaden döljer sig en begynnande storm. När Theos karriär störtdyker, börjar Ivys ambitioner att ta fart, vilket blir bränsle till en tärande konkurrens och underliggande bitterhet mellan dem.

The Roses Ratings & Reviews
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ1 september 2025Colman and Cumberbatch are both sensational in the lead roles. Their performances are both brilliant and they have fantastic chemistry with each other. They really get to flex their acting muscles too, bring great during both emotional scenes and comedic scenes.
- Mischa17 april 2026Feels like a real relationship
- rg940022 oktober 2025This movie is marketed as an off the rails comedy. It is decidedly not that. It starts out with a therapy lesson that ends up with a flashback. Initially, I thought this was an interesting and sincere way to build some depth and emotional weight to the eventual craziness. It honestly did start out strong with the dichotomy of their two careers and aspirations, but it just goes on. And on. I kid you not, it takes an hour before the movie returns back to the cold open. I actually checked my watch. And this hour isn't funny. There are maybe a few throwaway jokes that got a chuckle out of me. The side characters are absurd caricatures that don't fit into the more dramatic look into a failing marriage, and there are just a lot of random asides with their backstory. And that's the thing, even if I felt like I got duped into seeing a more dramatic movie about relationships, I could overlook that if the movie did a good job in that. But I don't think it really does. There are tons of movies that do a way better job with this type of material. It doesn't help that I think there is very clearly a "right" side in the entire conflict. At least Benedict Cumberbatch is in top form. The last 20 minutes finally shift into the movie the trailers showed. Except the trailers showed pretty much everything in those last 20 minutes. The movie escalates so fast that it almost feels like a montage. It culminates in an ending so at odds with everything the movie had can building up prior to that. It wants to be a serious relationship drama but also wants to market itself as an absurd comedy. It never reconciles the two. Maybe if the movie had started with the therapy scene, done a quick flashback to see how they got there, and then spent the entire runtime showing the escalating hijinks, it might have worked a lot better instead of saving them for the last 20 minutes. Regardless, as is, this movie is a mess and marketed in a very deceiving manner.

- Reliance Peach14 december 2025The Roses is a good movie—dark, sharp, and surprisingly funny in a way that sticks with you. What starts as a smart, romantic story slowly turns into something much more bitter and uncomfortable, and that’s exactly why it works. The film does a great job showing how love can curdle into resentment, not through big dramatic moments at first, but through small, believable cracks that grow over time. The performances are strong and committed, making the emotional breakdown feel real rather than exaggerated. The humor is cruel but effective, and the tension builds steadily without ever feeling rushed. By the end, the movie leaves you uneasy, but also impressed by how honestly it explores pride, ego, and the refusal to let go. Overall, The Roses is good because it’s bold, well-acted, and unafraid to show the ugly side of relationships without softening the blow
- Wint3ermute4 april 2026One of the most soulless remakes in existence.
- assassin00727 november 2025Now ignore the fact the film is set in the USA but is definitely filmed in the UK. This is a modern take on the war of the roses film. This made me laugh and really engage with the main characters. Certainly would be a great movie to watch on a cold night with a hot chocolate or your beverage of choice.
- K Smithy1 november 2025Funny from the start... Makes you appreciate the imperfections in your own relationship.. Lessons and humer goes well together..
- finders29 mars 2026Loved this. Funny film with top cast. Great humour showing how the Brits can really take the p*ss out of themselves.
- SirMonkalot25 februari 2026A fun chaotic movie about a failing marriage. I loved Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance, they did such a great job. The dialogue was on point but it’s definitely not for everyone. A constant barrage of words being launched at you!
- Johan Potgieter31 oktober 2025These people are truly crazy. It could have been funnier with the comedic talent in this movie. Not a bad movie or story.
- kVOD.2 | https://linktr.ee/xszr27 oktober 2025this movie took the cringe waves up and down throughout the show. while it's easier to watch the second half of the movie, the first of movie was so good at triggering my cringiness to the max 😂😂 ending was weird to me, but its a good choice too, to go with open ending
- dindom14 februari 2026Cumberbatch does "brilliant but insufferable" better than anyone, and Colman has that incredible ability to flip from polite to terrifyingly vengeful in a heartbeat. Smart, hilarious, and sadly not for everyone.
- hayzink7 februari 2026This was a really funny movie (but in the dry sense) The dynamic between the leads is great and considering their relationship is what the film is about the premise lands well. Its very British but in an American setting so it works on the same kind of level as something like "episodes" did so if that was something you enjoyed you definitely should like this. Im surprised the reviews on it are so mixed i can only assume people just didnt vibe with how cutting and insulting British humor can be at times
- Hakihiko10 februari 2026Sharp, Bitter, and Surprisingly Entertaining "The Roses" is a well-crafted drama that thrives on tension, sharp dialogue, and strong performances. It doesn't reinvent its themes, but it delivers them with enough intensity and style to remain consistently engaging. The film's strength lies in its character dynamics. The central conflict is handled with bite and emotional weight, balancing dark humor with genuine drama. The script is clever in places, especially when it leans into the bitterness and absurdity of the situation, making the clashes feel both painful and oddly entertaining. Performances are solid across the board, with the leads carrying much of the film's emotional impact. Their chemistry, or better the lack of it, drives the narrative forward, and even when the story follows familiar beats, the acting keeps things compelling. Visually, the movie is polished and confident, using framing and pacing effectively to heighten the sense of confrontation and unraveling relationships. While "The Roses" doesn't always dig as deep as it could into its themes, it remains a strong and enjoyable watch: smart, tense, and well-performed.
