There’s something not just undercooked but insulting about how little attention The Drama pays to the inner life of Emma, ostensibly the movie’s co-lead and the character whose adolescent breakdown serves as the plot’s convenient catalyst.

There’s not enough behind the revelation to make it memorable, but at least you’ll laugh while watching it.

Captivating performances from top to bottom. A nuanced and deeply interesting take on controversial topics. This is a movie that stays with you, makes you think and will provoke conversation with the people you saw it with. Highly recommended if you love a movie that makes you think.
