The Room Next Door

Synopsis

Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.

Anchored by a pair of terrific performances and swathed in vivid colours, Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar's English-language feature debut attests to his universal fluency in provocative filmmaking. It received a rapturous 17-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival where it premiered this year.

Reviews

As extravagant and engrossing and doggedly mysterious as anything [Almodóvar] has ever done.

The Guardian

Like a duet between two virtuoso cellists — Moore in the lower scale, sounding notes of doubt and soft anguish; Swinton in the brisker, higher register, frail but possessed
