‘The Drama’ Review: Zendaya And Robert Pattinson Are Sublime In Borgli’s Haunting Tragicomedy
Emma’s past disclosure sends the engaged couple into paranoia and doubt, as the film’s publicity keeps the twist under wraps.
- Director Kristoffer Borgli's new film "The Drama" stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a couple whose relationship unravels after a wedding dinner game reveals a dark secret from the bride's past.
- During a pre-wedding dinner, Emma confesses she once fantasized about school violence, a revelation that horrifies her maid of honor Rachel and leaves her fiancé Charlie spiraling.
- This disclosure occurs only 20 minutes into the film, which director Borgli uses as a foundational premise rather than a narrative twist to explore the couple's unraveling mental states.
- Charlie, a British museum director, struggles to process the truth, leading to a "glitchy ruckus" where the couple faces profound paranoia and self-doubt before their wedding day.
- Critics note the film resembles Borgli's previous work "Dream Scenario," though some suggest the script focuses more on inflammatory concepts than the inner life of its characters.
