The Roses is a wickedly sharp marital warfare comedy that transforms domestic dysfunction into high art.

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.
