Genre: Drama
"The Room Next Door is an alternately rapturous and ponderous meditation on mortality, though in a very Almodóvarian fashion."
— Alison Willmore, New York Magazine/Vulture
"Stunning in all elements of design and performance, The Room Next Door is another wonderful entry among Almodóvar’s filmography."
— Natalia Keogan, AV Club
"It’s a lovely, haunting work from a filmmaker decades into a singular career and clearly feeling ever more conscious of his own mortality."
— Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal
"A substantial achievement from a director who has managed to leave his linguistic comfort zone while remaining entirely, inimitably himself."
— Jonathan Romney, Screen International
"If Pain and Glory was a reckoning with self and Parallel Mothers a reckoning with Spain, The Room Next Door is a reckoning with the entire world."
— Drew Gregory, Autostraddle
"[Almodóvar] loses none of his dramatic power, directing his stars to some of the best work of their luminous careers and telling a story of incredible emotional truth."
— Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"The colors of The Room Next Door are its secret message, a language of pleasure and beauty that reminds us how great it is to be alive. If it's possible to make a joyful movie about death, Almodóvar has just done it."
— Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
"In these intensely moving moments it feels as if the two artists — Joyce and Almodóvar — are connecting across time, desperate to express the ineffable, and keen to capture a creative moment that honours both the living and the dead."
— Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
"As extravagant and engrossing and doggedly mysterious as anything he has done recently, with luxuriously self-aware performances from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, and an undertow of darkness often overlooked by yeasayers and naysayers."
— Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
