What Is The Roses About?
Directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents), the film is adapted from Warren Adler’s 1981 novel The War of the Roses. The story centers on Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch), a couple who appear to have the perfect marriage, until a sudden career breakthrough for one of them upsets the balance. What begins as a small disagreement slowly escalates into a full-blown domestic war, revealing how quickly love can turn into competition, resentment, and chaos.
The film also features Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, and Kate McKinnon in key supporting roles.

- The Roses (2025): 65%
- The War of the Roses (1989): 84%
As the numbers show, The Roses doesn’t quite match the strong 84% critics’ rating earned by The War of the Roses on Rotten Tomatoes.
