# The Drama (2026)

May 17, 2026 | Rated 4 out of 5 | Dir. Kristoffer Borgli

I forgave Zendaya instantly. Sorry. Also - Robert Pattinson is on an absolute heater of playing socially inept morons who cannot read their partner to save their life and it might be my favorite ongoing bit in movies right now. The man has fully committed to the “guy who is staring directly at his girlfriend’s face and somehow missing every signal” subgenre and I never want him to stop.

Also they’re both ridiculously hot. That’s part of the review. I’m not above it.
