The Rose: Come Back to Me

The Rose: Come Back to Me is an exceptional film showcasing the extraordinary journey of four young men that we so lovingly know as The Rose. From laughter to tears and everything in-between, this heartfelt documentary will take you on an unforgettable ride. It is an emotional, raw, soul touching story about trials, triumphs and friendship. Through vision, healing, trusting your gut and a love for music, they take us with them on their journey to becoming international stars from their humble start of busking in the streets. I laughed, I cried, I held my breath. I tip my hat to both The Rose and Director Yi for creating such an astonishingly beautiful documentary. I highly recommend that everyone watch this film.

I loved this film. It deserves distribution so more people can learn The Rose's story. They have the best underdog story! The story will resonate with both fans of the band as well as with an audience who doesn't know the music of the band. The filmmakers did an amazing job presenting The Rose's story in an honest, vulnerable, inspiring way. This film has it all - you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be inspired, and you'll rock out to great music! The film takes the audience on the journey of The Rose from their initial days of busking on the streets in Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea to headlining at Coachella. They experienced highs and lows along the way but never gave up and have always remained true to themselves.

Love this documentary about 4 talented, creative, passionate, funny, caring & hardworking musicians, who are independent. This has allowed them to focus on creating lyrics & music that they love & that their fans love. Fans are worldwide & thankful. The Rose continue to appreciate & value who they are! Their music & concerts showcase their authenticity, brilliance and their special aura. This documentary tells their story from their busking days & includes wonderful personal stories along the way. So happy they found each other & hope they continue to stay true to themselves & trust their instincts.

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.

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!
