The Roses takes us into the crumbling marriage of ‘Theo’ and ‘Ivy Rose’, a long-time British couple living in California. On the surface, their lives look perfect; they have successful careers, a beautiful home, and a picture-perfect family. But underneath all the politeness and charm is a mess of pride, jealousy, and quiet bitterness. As both their personal and professional lives shift, their relationship slowly turns into a war zone. What starts as a witty British comedy turns into a darkly funny and brutally honest look at how love can fall apart. Here’s what critics and fans have to say about the film.
