Rosebush Pruning: Glamour Meets Grotesque at Berlinale
Vulture critic Bilge Ebiri reviews Rosebush Pruning at Berlinale 2026, a star-studded but perplexing psychosexual drama inspired by Bellocchio’s Fists in the Pocket. Despite a glamorous cast, the film’s incestuous tensions and class critique feel poorly anchored, with directing and a tacked-on voiceover failing to sustain its provocative ambitions.
