Already in the conversation for a 2025 Oscar nomination, The Room Next Door is the first English-speaking film for director Pedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother, Talk to Her, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) and features standout performances by Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton, The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Julianne Moore (Still Alice, The Kids Are All Right, May December).
Ingrid (Julianne Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Tilda 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.
Pedro Almodóvar’s finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, a hushed and humane portrayal of the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, graced with incandescent performances by Moore and Swinton that tap the very essence of being.
