REVIEW: The Roses (2025 Film) - Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman

The Roses follows Theo and Ivy Rose, whose seemingly perfect marriage spirals into escalating cruelty as career shifts and domestic pressures create tension. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman deliver magnetic performances, balancing humour and menace while keeping the audience invested in their chaotic relationship.

The film shines in its portrayal of relatable domestic conflicts, with supporting performances from Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon adding extra comic relief. Despite sharp humour and entertaining chaos, it plays it safe compared to the 1989 original, making it a solid but fleeting one-time watch.
