At first glance, Pedro Almodóvar's new film, The Room Next Door, his maiden effort in English, feels quite unlike any of his previous works. Even though it is more involving than his recent shorts—The Human Voice (2020) and Strange Way of Life (2023)—it still doesn't come across as emotionally lush and robust as his Spanish classics. In fact, at the start, the characters, their relationships, journeys in life, and interactions with each other appear to be set up and defined with a conscious sense of detachment, leaving his loyal audience at a loss. However, Almodóvar does eventually draw his viewers into his world, slow and steady, armed with spectacular lead performances from Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore.
