ROSE is the story of two sisters, Inger and Ellen, and how their relationship is challenged on a highly anticipated coach trip to Paris. When Inger announces her struggles with mental health to the group, the sisters are faced with pity from some and discrimination from others. On arrival in Paris, it soon becomes clear that Inger has a hidden agenda concerning a figure from her past, ultimately involving the entire group in her hunt for answers. ROSE is a film about love and care for each other, in spite of our differences, as much as it is a film about not judging a book by its cover.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 06/28/2024
4/5
Balancing out the bleakness, however, is Oplev’s compassion and his depiction of the tenderness, rather than the prejudice, that Inger’s condition elicits from others. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian 06/24/2024
2/5
For all that it is based on a true story, this film’s characterisation and narrative are massaged into a kind of sentimental drama. It rings false. Go to Full Review
Natalia Winkelman New York Times 12/26/2023
The writer-director, Niels Arden Oplev, based the film in part on his own experiences, and the movie keenly illustrates how stigma surrounding mental illness hurts neurodivergent people and their families. Go to Full Review
Saskia Baron The Arts Desk 06/28/2024
4/5
Rose is not a flashy film and won’t appeal to cynics or those with no experience of neurodivergence, but its heart is in the right place and it's well worth watching. Go to Full Review

A road trip during which we meet a schizophrenic character and learn to see beyond stigma. Go to Full Review

4/5
A good road movie is expected to do more than just cross distance; by film tradition, it also involves personal growth and revelations. Few films have fulfilled those expectations better than the recently released Danish comedy-drama Rose. Go to Full Review

Mark W 09/25/2024 I loved the mix of humour and pathos in this film. There were moments of hilarity and deep sadness & dread. The fact that it's based on genuine lived experience means it should be taken seriously as a valid depiction of some aspects of living with a person with schizophrenia. One of the best films I've seen in ages. See more Dante S 12/22/2023 This film takes a unique look at mental illness. And still so fun, so funny, and so very, very moving. One of the best films I've seen in the past few years. See more Mary Jo P 11/18/2023 A poignant sad/funny BEAUTIFUL movie.
