Pedro Almodóvar's philosophical drama finds two estranged friends (Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton) reconnecting when one makes an unusual and difficult request.
Hop Film Now
Ingrid (Julianne Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Tilda Swinton), a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years. The two women immerse themselves in their pasts, sharing memories, anecdotes, art, movies—yet Martha has a request that will test their newly strengthened bond.
Pedro Almodóvar's finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, a hushed and humane portrayal of the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, graced with incandescent performances by Moore and Swinton that tap the very essence of being. Adapting Sigrid Nunez's treasure of a novel, What Are You Going Through, Almodóvar presents a thoughtful metaphor for humanity's relationship to the Earth with this story of one friend caring for another who is dying.
