“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

“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
