Today, on The Goggler Podcast, Bahir and Uma watch and review Jay Roach’s tragicomedy about a marriage in decline in The Roses.
At first glance, Theo and Ivy Rose seem to have it all: a glamorous life, successful careers, and children in a picture-perfect marriage. But when Ivy’s ambition begins to surge just as Theo’s professional fortunes falter, the veneer of domestic bliss starts to crack. What follows is a sharp, darkly comic exploration of what happens when love, power, and identity get entangled, and when the battleground of marriage becomes one of ruthless competition rather than partnership. The Roses was directed by Jay Roach, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Ncuti Gatwa, and Allison Janney.
