The Room Next Door

“The Room Next Door” is the Spanish filmmaker, Pedro Almodovar’s, first film made in the U.S. Almodovar is known for his interesting, winding plots and strong female characters. This film has two very strong female actresses, Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, playing artistic women. The plot concerns one of the leads dying of cancer and deciding to end her life on her own terms. While the acting is good, the movie is overly talky and kind of boring. Not much happens. Like Julianne Moore’s character, we are stuck waiting for Tilda Swinton to end her life. Not much else. Not worth seeing.
