The Roses
This marriage ain't big enough for the both of them.
Directed by Jay Roach
Produced by Searchlight Pictures, South of the River Pictures
A dark comedy about marital dissolution fueled by professional jealousy and wounded pride, where success becomes a weapon in an intimate war.
Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed 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.
