Review: “The Room Next Door” by Pedro Almodóvar Is a Magnificent Meditation on Death

Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door Lookmovie, which examines themes of friendship, death, and life, is a work of art. You can't give away the finale of this movie because you know it practically immediately. The journey Almodóvar puts you on—a journey into death—is what matters instead. The film has magnificent visuals. You can't help but fall in love with the universe that Almodóvar's brilliant use of color creates. Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore give performances as outstanding as you would anticipate from performers of their level. You are drawn into their bond with each moment as they express friendship in a way that is sincere and profoundly touching.
