00:00Okay, so ten things you love about each other. Theo, you first.

00:04The shape of her head is somewhat pleasing at a distance.

00:09She smells pleasant on occasion.

00:11The Roses is a cautionary tale about romance.

00:15A loser, a wanker. Number ten, Theo, what a .

00:21That's actually quite funny. Theo, Rose, falls quickly, lustfully in love with Ivy.

00:27There was love at the beginning, at least, and it's still there, but it's really being stretched thin.

00:32Theo is an architect, and he has a disaster with a building, and it collapses along with his ego.

00:39It's not going to fall. I think it might. No, stop building, guys.

00:43So they swap roles. He looks after the kids, and Ivy ends up taking over the breadwinner role.

00:49Then she starts to love it. How was your day?

00:52The neighbor's dog shut in the laundry. The kids have got knits together, and my left eye's twitching.

00:55More champagne for me, please.

00:57I sense trouble.

00:59I don't think you have the capacity to fix your problems.

01:02Are you actually allowed to say that?

01:05I read the script, and I was like, this is fantastic.

01:08Tony McNamara, who wrote this script, is kind of reimagining the original film, The War of the Roses.

01:14No one writes bad behavior like Tony McNamara.

01:16This is the easy bit. Smother me with a pillow.

01:18Who's it?

01:20Said a little too quickly for my liking.

01:22It's grounded, and it's satirical. At the same time, it's that beautiful, dry,

01:28British wit that only Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch could pull off.

01:33Everybody seems to think...

01:34We hate each other? I suppose sometimes I do hate you.

01:36Ah, sporadic hatred.

01:39Olivia Colman, National Treasure. Put that aside.

01:42She's just a lot of fun to work with. She's just very, hello, hello.

01:45Okay. Benedict was an amazing dance partner. He always does everything better, though. He always

01:49says everything better. I'm going to leave some long pauses in the conversation for you to insert

01:54an apology. I'm so sorry. My deepest regrets are...

01:58Banter was a whole other level, and it was a dream supporting cast.

02:03You guys are so cute.

02:05Like a sack of kittens. Near a rushing river.

02:08I don't get that.

02:10Some people side a little more with Ivy, and some people actually side with Theo,

02:17and they sometimes change during the course of the film, and then all you can do is just

02:20root for them to figure it out. It's fun behaving badly. It really is.

02:24Things are getting a little out of hand.

02:40A littleuga of the film acting player has too.

03:00What a real player of the film.

03:01Come on.

03:03I don't know.

03:04You speak in Steven.

03:06I don't know.
