The Roses (Disney+)

That was... Odd, to say the least. Remake of the 1989 War of the Roses, this time featuring Olivia Colman and Benelux Snozzcumber.

I don't know what it tried for, apart from remaking another film, but it didn't carry much with it, and came across as very shallow. Pegged as a "dark comedy", but mostly it was just swearing and weirdness, rather than funny. Best bit was the very end where it, *just*, managed to tie it together.

4/10 stunning seaviews.

Yeah, I enjoyed this yesterday evening. Surprisingly grim and gory in places (I didn't know Sam Raimi directed so that explains it) but well made and well acted and a great ending
