What's On in Burntwood

Burntwood Afternoon Cinema: The Roses
2026-03-17 14:00 - 16:30 (Europe/London) | Burntwood Memorial Institute, Rugeley Road, Burntwood, WS7 9BE, United Kingdom
Join us at Burntwood Afternoon Cinema on Tuesday, 17th March, for a wickedly funny and brilliantly acted story of a marriage on the rocks, starring the magnificent Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.
In “The Roses,” we meet Ivy and Theo, a seemingly perfect couple whose lives are turned upside down when her career soars and his stalls. What begins as a fairy-tale romance soon descends into a hilariously bitter battle for their dream house, with both sides resorting to ever more cunning and outrageous tactics.
From the writer of The Great and the director of Meet the Parents, this is a sharp, satirical black comedy that showcases two of Britain’s finest actors at the top of their game. If you enjoyed Olivia Colman in Wicked Little Letters, you’ll relish seeing her trade barbs with Cumberbatch in this tale of love, rivalry, and just how far we’ll go when things fall apart.
Please be aware; the film contains some strong language and mature themes, handled with Colman and Cumberbatch’s usual sharp, comedic edge.
Come along to our warm and friendly community cinema, where you’ll find good company and engaging conversation.
