The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler and stars two brilliant actors: Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch
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.
Directed by Jay Roach (Director of the Austen Powers movies and Meet the Parents/Fockers as well as a number of political dramas for TV)
The film should finish at 3.15pm
The Roses contains several sequences with flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.
