The Rose: Come Back to Me

I loved everything about this documentary. The film really showed The Rose's depth, color, and sincerity as artists and humans pursuing their dreams as musicians in an often brutal and unforgiving industry. The film highlights both their highs and lows as a band and shows just how talented, humble, hardworking and genuine they are. It's a must see for all fans of the band and music lovers in general. As some one who is a part of their fandom known as Black Roses, I'm happy and grateful to be on this musical journey with them. Each one of them makes this band so special. They deserve the world. Woosung, Dojoon, Hajoon and Taegyeom, I Rose You.

The Rose documentary honestly hit me right in the heart 😭 Watching their journey - the struggles, the growth, and how they've stayed so grounded - just made me love them even more. Come Back to Me isn't just a documentary, it's a reminder of why they mean so much to us. You can feel how sincere and real they are in every scene. Their bond, their honesty, and the way they stay true to themselves made this so powerful. I walked out of it feeling even prouder to be a fan, a Black Rose through and through. 🌹 This is the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll. Truly unforgettable.

I love The Rose and their music. So when the news broke that they filmed a documentary that will premiere at TriBeCa, I bent over backwards to travel from Germany to NYC to see it. The aspect I was most interested in was that whole topic of navigating different cultural identities and everything that comes with it, because this is a big part of my life, too. One important message I found in the film is, don't give up too soon - it's worth trying different paths to get where you want to go, it's worth working on your relationships, and sometimes it's even worth just waiting, or having a little patience. I think this message is more important now than ever, because in today's world of constant haste and waste, people seem to forget sometimes that some things just take a certain amount of work (maybe even really hard work) and time, and that if a road is a little bit bumpy, that doesn't mean that you can't travel it. These four guys have been through a lot together, and I think what has helped them was their great friendship and loyalty towards one another, and this bond seems to have grown even stronger over all this time. It's so heartwarming to see how they're apparently enjoying their current tour and each other's company. I really wish for this documentary to become available to a wider audience because there's so much in it that can inspire and encourage especially young people, but actually everybody.

The Rose: Come Back to Me is a documentary about an indie rock band from South Korea. The movie introduces the audience to the 4 members of the group. Park Dojoon (Leo), Kim Woosung (Sammy), Lee Hajoon (Dylan), and Lee Taegyeom (Jeff). The documentary is directed by Eugene Yi and produced by Dianne Quon, Sanjay Sharma, James Shin, and Joe Plummer. A raw look at the perseverance and resiliency of this talented band from their beginnings to selling out the Kia Forum to taking the stage at Coachella. Their story will strike a chord with all who watch it. For their fans across the WRLD it is an in-depth look into their story which will make you laugh, cry, and smile.

I felt like a fly on the wall throughout watching this beautifully made, and often quite exposing, film.

Across each of the band members, what you watched wasn't "the band members". It was a glimpse into each human that makes up The Rose as a whole. And what their lived experience has been, to become who, and be where, they are now.

This film creatively weaves the insights into each of their individual histories, early relationships to music, to the Kpop idol industry and each other, to showcase the magic of their unified success.

This film gives a real view into how they have grown to become such craftsmen in songwriting, production, melodies and putting on performances that rock peoples' souls. And like their name suggests, beautiful creations can come with thorns.

After watching this, you can't help but be awed at what they have built and how open they are to spread love and attention to make this world just that much better for us all!
