The Love Of Cinema

The Roses with Jay Roach | Picturehouse

Sam Clements talks to director Jay Roach about his new film, The Roses. 

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. 

But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. 

The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.
