SYNOPSIS
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine.

REVIEWS
“[Almodóvar] loses none of his dramatic power, directing his stars to some of the best work of their luminous careers and telling a story of incredible emotional truth.”
“The colors of The Room Next Door are its secret message, a language of pleasure and beauty that reminds us how great it is to be alive. If it’s possible to make a joyful movie about death, Almodóvar has just done it.”
“It’s a lovely, haunting work from a filmmaker decades into a singular career and clearly feeling ever more conscious of his own mortality.”
