The Drama Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
Well-made... but grotesque in retrospect.
Salon.com
Coleman Spilde
The Drama is not a tidy film from any angle. Its themes are extreme and uncomfortable. Its director's past actions are more than questionable. But if audiences are willing to keep an open mind and engage with it, it will reward on a massive scale.

Audiences may find themselves watching until the very end, hoping for a coda that redeems what they've just witnessed.
Slate
Dana Stevens
There's something not just undercooked but insulting about how little attention The Drama pays to the inner life of Emma, ostensibly the movie's co-lead and the character whose adolescent breakdown serves as the plot's convenient catalyst.
The Reveal
Scott Tobias
A compelling high-wire act, wonky at times yet committed to living in discomfort.
The Atlantic
David Sims
In The Drama, Pattinson embodies Charlie as the model of tame, harmless Brit charm, and the minute the actor has built his character up, he clearly takes perverse delight in unraveling him.
Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast)
Tre'vell Anderson
To see how they play with the comedy and the dark element of the comedy, I really liked it. It kept me interested in what was coming next.
Chicago Reader
Cortlyn Kelly
The physicality of Zendaya and Pattinson's performances saves the story from some of its shortcomings, but in the end, the questions raised are more interesting than the attempts to answer them.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Drama" is the rare star-driven film that is willing to tackle big ideas, ask big questions and cause big discomfort. We need more of these movies, not less, messiness and all. Wedding season just got a lot more provocative.
The New Republic
Adam Nayman
No less than marriage, dark comedy requires commitment, but Borgli traffics in opportunism.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
The Drama has a juicy, combustible premise that it struggles to justify, not because there's anything inherently distasteful... but, rather, because Emma's deep, dark secret simply doesn't ring true.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Borgli offers a childish view of romance, leaping from acquaintance to engagement with no substance in between, and the fancy editing scheme of flashbacks and leaps ahead merely calls attention to the underlying void.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
By embracing an outlier and taking the premise to such an extreme, the film lost its grip-both on reality and my interest.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
While there's plenty of food for thought, by the time this cinematic meal concluded, I still felt famished. Even worse, I was angry at Borgli for cooking up such a frustratingly unsatisfying banquet in the first place.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
But much like Dream Scenario, his actors give more than his undercooked script deserves.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson bring a bracing charge to turning a romcom about wedding jitters into a deep-dish think piece about the limits of condoning violence, real or imagined. The ending doesn't work, but oh the drama!
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
Some movies are toxically misconceived, and "The Drama" is among them. It wants to be wicked and outrageous but it's really just dismal and depressing.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
A film about a wedding that's not really about a wedding, nor is it really about the confession that sends the wedding off the rails. Rather, it is about what kinds of secrets we can reveal to those closest to us and still be accepted and loved by them.
Los Angeles Times
Amy Nicholson
"The Drama" is the movie equivalent of a half-glass of Champagne: a toast Borgli trusts us to decide whether its ideas are half-empty or half-full. I'll raise my cup to full, but only because of how pleasurably it bubbles.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
I thought it was excruciating, but in a good way.
