The Room Next Door 
Pedro Almodóvar’s (Parallel Mothers) finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, graced with incandescent performances by Julianne Moore (May December) and Tilda Swinton (The Souvenir).
Ingrid (Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Swinton), a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years. The two women immerse themselves in their pasts, sharing memories, anecdotes, art, movies—yet Martha has a request that will test their newly strengthened bond.
Adapting Sigrid Nunez’s treasure of a novel, What Are You Going Through, Almodóvar has exquisitely reframed his career-long fascination with the lives of women for an American vernacular, capturing Manhattan and upstate New York with enraptured affection.
Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
"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." Autostraddle
