The Room Next Door

In celebrated Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar’s first English-language film, Julianne Moore stars as Ingrid, a best-selling writer who reconnects after many years with her close childhood friend Martha — a war journalist played by Tilda Swinton. As the two reunite and rekindle their relationship, Martha makes a request of Ingrid that will test their newly reforged bond.

Like his acclaimed films Parallel Mothers, Talk to Her, and Volver — to name a few —The Room Next Door is a beautifully crafted drama that continues Almodóvar’s perceptive, emotional exploration of women’s inner lives. Featuring luminous performances by Moore and Swinton and his signature saturated color palette, Almodóvar’s latest masterwork is an exquisite and heartbreaking story of life, death, and friendship.
