Movie #3623 "The Roses" (hulu/Prime Video) this is a movie that is loosely based on the old classic film "War of the Roses" with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner - this time the competitors in the marriage are even better: Olivia Coleman and Benedict Cumberbatch, and boy are they guide -- quick patter --- I could barely keep up the pace of their insinuations , accusations, smarmy cuts to each other --- and those poor kids of theirs. The arguing and fighting go way beyond the believable, but it ws a fun watch --- if you can stomach all of the arguing. I give it a 4 out of 5.

A tinderbox of competition and resentments underneath the facade of a picture-perfect couple is ignited when the husband's professional dreams come crashing down.
