D’une délicatesse si rare… À plusieurs moments je voulais sortir mon téléphone pour noter des quotes (évidemment je les ai oubliées…) La seule faiblesse que je trouve au film est qu’il est parfois un peu trop dialogué et explicatif dans ses dialogues. Cela mis à part, c’est beau, c’est coloré, les actrices jouent exceptionnellement bien (et Swifton pour la mourante on pouvait pas trouver mieux), ça fait réfléchir et c’est poétique 💛❤️
Synopsis
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.

Viewers find 'The Room Next Door' a visually stunning and emotionally charged drama, highlighting the exceptional performances of Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. The film's exploration of friendship and dignified death resonates deeply, though some find its pace slow and its narrative somewhat restrained. Almodóvar's signature style of vibrant colors and aesthetic finesse is praised, yet the shift to a more subdued storytelling in English garners mixed reactions.
👍 Exceptional performances by Moore and Swinton
👎 May feel slow and restrained for some
