"Therapeutic" Romance: Director Jay Roach Urges Viewers to 'Watch The Roses' as a Form of Couples Therapy
In an unconventional approach, director Jay Roach has advised audiences to watch his latest film, "The Roses," as a form of couples therapy. The reimagining of the 1989 classic "The War of the Roses" is now available on digital platforms, and Roach believes its themes of marital discord and passion make it an ideal companion piece for relationships.
Starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch as a seemingly picture-perfect couple on the brink of collapse, "The Roses" explores the tension between appearance and reality in marriage. The film's focus on food as a catalyst for self-discovery and sensual pleasure adds a unique layer to the narrative.
Roach sees the movie as an opportunity for viewers to examine their own relationships and learn from the Rose couple's mistakes. "There's a kind of date night quality to it," he notes, highlighting the undeniable chemistry between Colman and Cumberbatch. By watching "The Roses," couples can gain insight into the warning signs of a failing relationship and perhaps even find ways to reignite their own passion.
With its timely release on digital platforms, "The Roses" offers a fresh take on the classic tale of marital strife. As Roach suggests, it may just become the unlikeliest of therapy sessions – one that leaves viewers stronger, wiser, and maybe even inspired to spice up their own romance.

idk if this is gonna work but I think its actually kinda genius? watching a movie about a couple on the brink of collapse can't be a bad thing right? like its already hard enough navigating our own relationships. having a whole film to dissect and analyze together could actually bring us closer, you know?
, who would've thought watching a rom-com could be couples therapy? Interesting 
, I guess you could say it's all about the food for love 
, like, cooking together can actually bring people closer? I'm not sure if I'd take director Jay Roach's advice, but hey, if it works for some couples, that's all that matters 
.
. How is watching a film supposed to magically fix relationship issues? It's just entertainment, right? I need to see some actual research or studies backing up this claim before I'm convinced that "The Roses" is more than just a rom-com 
. I'd rather see some concrete advice or tools that couples can use to strengthen their bonds.
. But at the same time, I mean, Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch are just so gorgeous together 
, it's hard to resist. And Jay Roach is right, maybe we can learn something from their drama-filled relationship... like how not to? 
.
i mean who wouldn't want to watch a movie that's all about finding ways to keep your relationship lit 
and i love how director Jay Roach is all about embracing the messy, imperfect stuff in relationships 
it's so refreshing to see someone celebrating the imperfections instead of trying to sugarcoat them 
i'm totally planning on watching "The Roses" with my partner ASAP and discussing our own relationship goals (and not-so-goals) afterwards 
benedict cumberbatch is just 
the food scenes r insane btw gotta check this out if u need some inspo to spice up ur love life

But hey, if watching Olivia and Benedict squirm in their seats can make you think about your own relationship, then I guess it's worth a shot 
. Maybe it's just a case of "drama is drama" but still, who wouldn't wanna spice up their romance a bit? 
. This film might just be the unlikeliest of therapy sessions, but it could be exactly what couples need to shake things up and reignite the spark
