The Room Next Door
Directed by Pedro Almodóvar1h 46m2024
Ingrid and Martha 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.
Our read: The Room Next Door (2024) reads as a sombre, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
