Spoilers ahead for the film The Drama
Its almost impossible to talk about The Drama , the new film from Norwegian writer-director Kristoffer Borgli, without talking about a revelation that emerges in the first 20 minutes of the film. It presents a sticky problem for film critics because the film would be best watched without this early twist spoiled but so much of the plot hinges on its aftermath that it has to be included in any review of the film worth reading. With that warning in place, here goes.
Emma Harwood Zendaya and Robert Pattinson Charlie Thompson are a young couple preparing for their wedding which is only a few days away. They go to the wedding venue accompanied by their friends Rachel Alana Haim and Mamoudou Athie Mike, a married couple who are respectively the Maid of Honour and the Best Man. With the wine and conversation flowing, Rachel comes up with the idea for each person at the table to reveal the worst thing theyve ever done. A suggestion disguised as a fun party game which upon closer inspection more closely resembles a humiliation ritual.
