"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." - Stephanie Zacharek, Time
"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." - Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"Stunning." - Natalia Keogan, AV Club
Opens January 9 | In acclaimed auteur Pedro Almodóvar’s (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, VOLVER) first English-language film, best-selling author Ingrid (Julianne Moore) reconnects with her childhood friend, war journalist Martha (Tilda Swinton) after years of disconnect, and as Martha faces her mortality. When Martha makes an extreme request of Ingrid, their friendship is tested, and their individual perspectives on life are shared. THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, winner of the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, continues Almodóvar’s exploration of female relationships and interiorities, and feels, like so much of the Spanish director's filmography, deeply personal. A film about death that is full of life, THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, with Almodóvar's signature rich color palette and two acclaimed actresses at the top of their craft, is a rewarding gift.
