I have wanted to watch The Drama for the longest time. The synopsis of the film made me intrigued and I do like the pairing of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.

But it seemed like every week, something got in the way of me going to the see the fil. There were too many other movies or my schedule changed or just couldn’t fit it into the time frame I had available. It felt like the film was just being snakebit the whole time.

So I had made the determination that once The Drama came out on streaming, I would sit down and watch it, no excuses.

Finally, I watched the movie on Fandango at Home.

It was not what I was expecting.

According to IMDB, “A happily-engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.”

I thought this worked very well as a darker film. I’m not sure I would define it as a dark comedy, but it did have specific parts of the story that was unexpectedly uncomfortable and difficult to process.

I do not want to spoil the main conflict of the film because it was one that I did not see coming and it did create some provocative thoughts.

Both Zendaya and Robert Pattinson do a tremendous job as this pair that were so in love only to have the rug pulled out from under them, leading them to doubt what they feel for each other.

I could see the conflict being triggering for some and that might be even tougher to watch. I am not sure if you want to go in blind or not.

I am glad that I finally got around to The Drama. I thought it was definitely worth the wait.
