In her reel, Twinkle quips that for Ivy Rose, the best thing about her husband Theo is simply “that he has arms,” while for Theo, living with Ivy is “marginally better than living with a wolf.” She praises Colman and Cumberbatch for delivering “a lesson in marital chaos that is witty and a bit unhinged,” adding that their explosive on-screen battles — pepper spray, guns, and all — offer a refreshing spin on gender roles without ever feeling gimmicky. At one point, she even cheekily refers to Benedict Cumberbatch as a “hot batata vada.” Wrapping up her review, she declared that The Roses is a film “that will leave you in splits,” admitting she “can’t remember the last time I loved a movie this much.”

Directed by Jay Roach and written by Tony McNamara, The Roses also stars Kate McKinnon and Andy Samberg.

Searchlight Pictures releases The Roses in Indian theatres tomorrow.

The story begins with #BenedictCumberbatch and #OliviaColman as #Theo and #IvyRose, seen in therapy sessions where they trade complaints and point out each other’s flaws. From there, the narrative moves into flashback, showing how their journey began. Theo, an architect, first meets Ivy at a restaurant where she is working. He arrives for a business meeting but, due to a misunderstanding, ends up in the kitchen. That accidental encounter sparks a romance, leading to marriage and eventually a happy family with two children  a boy and a girl. Ivy chooses to be a housewife, while Theo’s career flourishes when he designs a striking museum with a rooftop shaped like a ship’s sail. As a gesture of love, Theo buys her an abandoned beachside restaurant so she can pursue her dreams.

But destiny takes an unexpected turn. One stormy day, many guests gather at the restaurant, including a food inspector. Ivy impresses her and earns a glowing five-star review, turning the restaurant into an overnight success. Meanwhile, Theo’s museum collapses during the storm, costing him his job. With her restaurant thriving, Ivy tells Theo that she can take care of the bills while he stays home with the children. Her career quickly skyrockets, and she eventually opens five more restaurants worldwide. Theo, however, begins to feel ignored and left behind. The spark between them fades, frustrations grow, and their marriage soon heads toward divorce.

The film is both entertaining and meaningful. Its comic timing is sharp, and its portrayal of marriage doesn’t frighten audiences but instead offers insight  showing how love, understanding, and compromise are essential to any relationship. The story is well-written, holds attention from start to finish, and never disappoints. Cumberbatch and Colman deliver powerful, heartfelt performances that make Theo and Ivy’s struggles feel deeply real.

In the end, The Roses is much more than a story about fights or divorce. It is about love, ambition, ego, compromise, and the ways relationships evolve with time. It’s a film that makes you laugh, reflect, and perhaps even value your own bonds a little more. A witty and heartfelt watch definitely worth revisiting.

During the promotional tour of the film, the lead actors spoke about their film, which explores the messy, hilarious, and heartbreaking dynamics of marriage through the eyes of Theo and Ivy Rose. Speaking about his role with Fandango, Benedict said, “I played Theo Rose, an architect, and it was such a wonderful piece of writing that kind of acts itself. We had a supremely talented cast and the best tennis partner you could possibly want to play opposite (Olivia Coleman). As the film focuses on broken relationships but takes a fun route to put the theme across, he also added, “The sort of panacea to any conflict in any relationship is laughter.”

Speaking about her bond with her co-star, Olivia said, “I was excited to go to work every day because I was playing opposite Ben. We held hands, went in together, and just had a ball, poor Jay (the director) had to keep us focused and rattle our attention to work.”

Searchlight Pictures releases The Roses in India on 29th August, 2025.
