‘The Drama’

What to Watch

If you didn’t get a chance to watch this buzzy dark comedy in theaters, you should know that it’s streaming on HBO Max now. And yes, it does come with a “twist” early in the movie that you might not want spoiled, so hurry up and watch it! Written and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, The Drama stars Zendaya as Emma Harwood, who is engaged to be married to Charlie Thompson (Robert Pattinson). Both leads, alongside supporting actors Mamoudou Athie and Alana Haim, deliver engaging, entertaining performances that will have you laughing out loud. But the best part about The Drama is that it raises interesting questions about morality, judgement, and forgiveness. It’s the kind of film that’s sure to spark a debate among your friends. Isn’t that the best kind?
