The Room Next Door.
Going to start with something super dark. Chinese New Year is not really a good time to watch such a dark / death related movie. 2 BFF (with a huge gap) coming together and just dealing with one friend's cancer.
It's very well acted with solid calibre of actresses. Man, Tilda Swinton transformed in Dr. Strange with her hair cut and I just can't see her any other way. (However, she also plays the role of her own daughter iwth long hair and it was just so so weird (in a way i'm glad she did, just really really weird as I thought it was all CGI. )). Seeing Tilda on the screen being super skinny was just so close to heart to being a cancer patient.
It's a tough topic because it's about Medical assistance in dying (MAID). Not too much to say but to ensure you're in a heart of such movie.
Really nothing to rave about because there ain't a huge surprise, or crazy score. There just wasn't enough emotional pull, script, ending, crazy acting to like the movie.
The only mention I could say are the colors. Director Pedro Almodóvar's did use a great deal of time to make colors pop (as you see in the poster).
Pedro Almodóvar's - he is famous for using (Penélope Cruz / Antonio Banderas) in Volver &The Skin I Live In.
