'The Drama' Review: Zendaya and Pattinson in an Inconsistent Romance

In 'The Drama', Emma (Zendaya) and Charlie (Robert Pattinson), a Boston couple, are about to get married, but a game during a party reveals a shocking secret of Emma's. The revelation, which involves a threat of violence, triggers doubt in Charlie about his impending commitment. Director Kristoffer Borgli, known for his dark comedies, attempts to explore the complexities of the relationship, but the film fails to delve into its premise. The film focuses on Charlie, who reacts to the new information, while Emma remains passive.
