The Drama - Review

Radical Acceptance.

Review written by Jack Aling

The Drama is directed by Kristoffer Borgli and written by Kristoffer Borgli.

A happily engaged couple is put to the test when a hidden secret fractures their relationship and sends their wedding week spectacularly off the rails. Borgli's darkly comic morality play exposes modern intimacy as a theatre of doubt.

The Drama invites, in fact, it encourages discussion and debate. Good, bad and ugly conversation surrounds this film and the ticking time-bomb at its core.

Kristoffer Borgli builds a layered romantic comedy full of tension and secrets paired with exceptional performances by Zendaya and Pattinson who are on a relentless mission of self-sabotage.

Borgli's work seems to thrive in uncomfortable moments. Impeccable editing and unrestrained storytelling create such wonderfully immersive moments of cinematic hysteria.

Our verdict: 4 out of 5 stars.

The Drama arrives in UK cinemas 3 April 2026.
