The Room Next Door

A woman with a terminal condition asks a friend to be with her in her final days as she plans her death.

The director gently holds the story with some detachment, avoiding melodrama and ensuring the production is heartfelt with a genuine feel. Navigating the inherent complications of choosing one's death, "The Room Next Door” is mostly about the measure of friendship when it could've been wrongly framed as a tragedy, minimising an abiding love. The lead actors are flawless in their roles as the one who no longer has a taste for life and her accomplice. The last act.
