Winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, iconic Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language film, THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, firmly retains the director's signature narrative complexities buoyed by irreverence, dark humour, and capable performances. The film follows lngrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton, in a Golden-Globe nominated performance), two women were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation. With John Turturro, Alessandro Nivolo.

"Anchored by a pair of terrific performances swathed in vivid colors, Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar's English-language feature debut attests to his universal fluency in provocative filmmaking." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"“The Room Next Door” showcases a carefully choreographed dance between two Oscar winners that elevates both of their performances to greatness." (Boston Globe)

"As extravagant and engrossing and doggedly mysterious as anything he has done recently, with luxuriously self-aware performances from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, and an undertow of darkness often overlooked by yeasayers and naysayers." (Guardian)
