A DISS FROM A ROSE

OLIVIA COLMAN AND BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH TRADE DELICIOUS BARBS AS A COUPLE IN CRISIS
FEUDING spouses vent their deep grievances and frustrations to destructive extremes in a potty-mouthed comedy directed by Meet The Parents maestro Jay Roach, adapted by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tony McNamara from Warren Adler's book.
The War of the Roses was previously filmed with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner as the materialistic husband and wife, who allow simmering resentment to boil over.
The Roses updates Adler's 1980s text, to reflect civil war between an architect and a chef in the oceanside community of Mendocino, California, where you could comfortably “float a boat on the undercurrent of discontent”.
