“The hot Latin lovers have been replaced by pink snow, and the homoeroticism has been dialled down, but this is Almodóvar’s America and it’s a delight.” 
★★★★★ Kaleem Aftab, Time Out

 

“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

 

“The Room Next Door isn't a weighty philosophical work – as mature as it is, it still has glimmers of cheeky humour and campy melodrama. But it develops into a sweetly heartfelt reflection on ageing…” 
★★★★ Nicholas Barber, BBC.com

 

“And despite a certain propensity for melodrama, Almodóvar restrains himself, making a film that is as understated and lovely as his leading ladies’ performances.” 
★★★★ Jo-Ann Titmarsh, London Evening Standard
