The Roses - Recensioner

...one of the funniest movies of 2025.

Everyone, Colman and Cumberbatch especially, appears to be having a lovely time lampooning what is for most people in the real world a harrowing state of affairs; sly grins winning out over true sadism.

The virtuoso leads turn vicious in an acidly enjoyable portrait of marital breakdown in The Roses.

Longtime friends off-screen, they prove an irresistible pairing on-screen; here's hoping they team up again à la Julia Roberts and George Clooney.

See it with your parents. See it with your significant other. Just see it.

...feels like a genuine comedy comeback.

Jay Roach reimagines The War of the Roses and leaves us yearning for an era when mid-budget, starry comedies weren’t such an endangered species.

They love as they hate in The Roses, decadently and without restraint.

...the leads are magnets, whether they’re surgically picking each other apart with the cruelty of Caligula or steaming up a seductive romance.

...follows the immensely talented Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as Theo and Ivy Rose... but don’t expect any butterflies in your stomach about these two.

Perhaps because of Colman’s innate warmth and Cumberbatch’s ability to be self-deprecating, it’s never quite as venomous as the original, but it does still manage to mix some shocks into its humour.

Olivia Colman och Benedict Cumberbatch har ett extraordinärt äktenskapstycke som äkta makar i ”The Roses”.

...en svart komedi som är lika träffsäker som hysteriskt rolig.
