Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman star as a dysfunctional married couple in The Roses (not to be confused with the Roses of Schitt’s Creek). The 2025 new movie is an adaptation/remake of The War of the Roses from the 1980s.
Warren Adler wrote the initial book back in 1981, which was then turned into a 1989 movie of the same name starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito (with DeVito also directing). The original movie was well received, as evidenced by its “Certified Fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes. Can the new adaptation of the story have similar (or better) success?
