“The Roses” is the top movie on Hulu, according to the platform’s public ranking system.
The dark comedy is a reimagining of Warren Adler’s “The War of the Roses” novel and its 1989 adaptation. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as Theo and Ivy, a picture-perfect couple whose marriage begins falling apart after the former’s career nosedives as the latter’s takes off.
The film also stars Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao and Kate McKinnon.
Although “The Roses” appears to be a hit with Hulu subscribers, some critics panned the movie after it opened in theaters this summer, calling it an “overly glossy” update that “pales next to the original.”
