IMDb 6.8 Metacritic 70 RT 80%

The Room Next Door is a solid, character-driven drama about rekindled friendship that critics largely respect—and that's enough reason to give it a shot tonight. It's not a must-watch masterpiece, but at 80% on RT, it's crafted well enough to justify two hours of your evening, especially if you're in the mood for something intimate and thoughtful.

Plot

Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
