So Pedro Almodovar‘s The Room Next Door (Sony Pictures ClassicS, 12.20) costars Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, but with a few supporting characters.
Why, then, does it feel like a two-hander? It seems to be about Swinton’s war-correspondent character winding down toward finality. Could it be Pedro’s version of Wim Wenders‘ Lightning Over Water?
Swinton has described the film as “a natural successor, strangely, to Pain and Glory.”
