"The Roses" (2025) Film Review-Marital dysfunction offers plenty of hubris AND humor this time around

September 1, 2025

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

Fortunately, what I was given was a fantastically, though expectedly scathing, adventure in dark humor, satirical excellence, and sometimes straight up, hilarious FUN. I mean, it's brutal, no doubt. There usually wouldn't be, or frankly SHOULDN'T be, any genuine elation to be had when watching the deconstruction of two people's relationship that begins so beautifully, yet ends so unceremoniously.

Review: The Roses – Marriage and the Sweet Taste of Revenge

The Roses is a wickedly sharp marital warfare comedy that transforms domestic dysfunction into high art. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch deliver powerhouse performances as a couple whose fairy-tale romance implodes when his architectural career collapses just as her culinary empire takes off. What makes Jay Roach's remake so devastatingly effective is its refusal to pick sides—both spouses are equally sympathetic and monstrous, wielding Tony McNamara's razor-sharp dialogue like weapons forged from shared intimacies. It's a film that dares you to laugh at relationship wreckage while forcing you to confront the uncomfortable truth that the line between passionate love and mutual destruction is terrifyingly thin.
