THE ROOM NEXT DOOR
Dir Pedro Almodóvar | Spain, USA | 2024 | 107 mins | Rated 12A | English
Bestselling author Ingrid learns that an old friend, war reporter Martha, is dying of cancer. They’ve not seen each other for years, but they are soon warmly reunited. Then Martha asks for Ingrid’s help; to be with her while she has one last relaxing weekend before taking euthanasia medication while Ingrid waits in the room next door so she can plausibly tell police she didn’t know what Martha was doing. Concerns about ethics and legality mix with the pair’s shared history and the unearthing of hidden secrets to threaten their newly-rediscovered closeness.
Starring Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, John Turturro

REVIEWS
“The hot Latin lovers have been replaced by pink snow, and the homoeroticism has been dialled down, but this is Almodóvar’s America and it’s a delight.” ★★★★★ Kaleem Aftab, Time Out
“…luxuriously self-aware performances from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton.” ★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“And despite a certain propensity for melodrama, Almodóvar restrains himself, making a film that is as understated and lovely as his leading ladies’ performances.” ★★★★ Jo-Ann Titmarsh, London Evening Standard
“If Pain and Glory was a reckoning with self and Parallel Mothers a reckoning with Spain, The Room Next Door is a reckoning with the entire world.” Drew Gregory, Autostraddle
