Writer-director Pedro Almodóvar, plus acting powerhouses Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore – all in one weepy drama about friendship, cancer and middle age. It’s enough to have some of us marking our calendars for Boxing Day, when Sony will release Almodóvar’s English-language feature debut The Room Next Door in Australian cinemas.
Based on the 2020 novel What Are you Going Through by American author Sigrid Nunez, The Room Next Door follows Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) who were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine in the 1980s.
