The Spanish director believes his first English-language film The Room Next Door merits awards for both his stars.

In his latest film, the director completes a superb and unorthodox lesson in cinema, as contradictory in form as it is revealing and emotional. The three mentioned films function as a mirror in which the characters of Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore look at each other with the same gesture and identical desperation with which any viewer could contemplate the film itself,

Pedro Almodóvar usually knows just how to deploy melodrama to heighten his work. His Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton drama feels misjudged.

We are getting reports from those inside Lincoln Center that the New York Film Festival post-screening Q&A for Sony Pictures Classics’ The Room Next Door was interrupted tonight by a small group of protesters in the theater who were chanting in support of Palestine and Lebanon, whose capital Beirut has been the target of Israeli airstrikes.

Although “The Room Next Door” is Pedro Almodóvar’s first English-language feature, Tilda Swinton says it’s in the director’s inimitable style.

Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door is a hilarious take, albeit dark, on the seriousness of death and man's perpetual struggle to accept it in its full glory.
