The Roses's reviews
Media reviews
The Times
"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".
Indiewire
"That McNamara has written a truly new spin on Adler's novel is genuinely refreshing, but the lighter tone and greater reliance on actual romance between its leads makes what's to come all the harder to swallow".
Variety
"Bringing fresh wit and 21st-century gender politics to Warren Adler\'s witheringly anti-romantic-comedy novel, Meet the Fockers director Jay Roach has dropped the "war" from The War of the Roses. His take may be less belligerent, but it\'s still got bite".
The Wrap
"An ambitious comedy, not because it\'s so big but because it\'s so delicate. This film could crumble at any minute. It veers dangerously from misery to whimsy to horror to hope".
The Hollywood Reporter
"The lead actors\' combative chemistry is what keeps Jay Roach\'s overcrowded remake zingy even when it threatens to turn from savage to sour".
