THE ROSES (15) 105 mins Director: Jay Roach Starring: Olivia Colman, Benedict Cumberbatch Synopsis: Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo Rose: successful careers, a loving marraige, great kids. But beneath the facade of their supposedly 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 in this wonderfully wry, dark comedy. Awards: Reviews: "The heat [that Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch] generate is just as much dramatic as comic; the depths they supply are the special effects." **** DAILY TELEGRAPH "What Cumberbatch and Colman bring to the screen, perhaps more so than any other British film actors working today, is an ability to perform a breakneck shift in tone, sometimes mid-sentence." **** TIMES "[The supporting players are] mere accessories to Colman and Cumberbatch, longtime friends off screen, quintessentially British stars, and here a single, relentlessly entertaining unit." **** INDEPENDENT
