As a dedicated cinephile with a heart for poignant and emotionally resonant stories, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm for Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore’s dramedy, The Room Next Door. Having been fortunate enough to witness the cinematic masterpieces of the past, I can confidently say that the seventeen-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival is a testament to its extraordinary quality.
At the Venice Film Festival on September 2nd, Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore’s dramedy titled “The Room Next Door” was unveiled, breaking records with a 17-minute long standing ovation – the most extended one in the festival’s history.
In a video shared on X by Deadline, the film leads were seen sharing a warm moment after the extraordinary audience response. Swinton hugged Moore who wore a bedazzled gold Bottega Veneta gown at the premiere, as the crowd clapped and cheered.
Following her turn, Swinton faced the audience on the opposite side, gave a kiss in the air, and touched her heart as a token of appreciation. The standing ovation for The Room Next Door broke the festival’s record-setting applauses, surpassing even those given to Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist (12 minutes), Pablo Larrain’s Maria (8 minutes), and Justin Kurzel’s The Order (7 minutes).
The film centers on Ingrid (Moore) and Martha (Swinton), former colleagues at a New York magazine who developed a strong friendship but drifted apart as life took them down separate roads. Despite years passing, they find themselves reconnecting under poignant and pleasant circumstances. At this point in time, Ingrid has achieved success as a best-selling author, while Martha is bravely fighting a terminal illness – cancer.
Originally, Ingrid pursued a career as an autobiographical fiction writer, whereas Martha chose journalism focusing on war events. Over time, their lives took different paths. However, fate brings them together once more, albeit in an extraordinary and surprisingly charming predicament.
At the premiere of her film Problemista in February, Swinton discussed The Room Next Door with PEOPLE and labeled it as a sensitive tale revolving around adults navigating complex situations that strain their friendship. She further explained, “It’s essentially about strong friendships and the supportive actions good friends take for one another.”
Apart from expressing her enthusiasm about teaming up with Moore, she mentioned that they have long desired spending more time together, and acting in a project together is the ideal way to achieve this. In her words, “Now we’re working together, and we couldn’t be happier.”
The Room Next Door will be released in theaters on December 25.
