The Room Next Door (2024)

The film offers a subtle and indirect portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes. While the central female relationship is explicitly platonic, a brief flashback features a tender, sensitively handled romantic moment between two men. This moment adds a subtle queer dimension to the narrative without being central, resulting in an incidental depiction that neither strongly affirms nor denigrates.

The film, influenced by the director's non-belief despite a Catholic upbringing, implicitly contrasts Christian faith-based views on mortality and individual choices like euthanasia with its overarching emphasis on human connection, empathy, and solidarity, suggesting a limitation in dogmatic approaches.
