The drama is finally coming to HBO Max, with confirmation that it will arrive on one of the top streaming services on 31 July.

A24’s black comedy The drama caused quite a stir with its dramatic marketing, teasing engagement photos of Robert Pattinson and Zendaya’s characters. Even before I knew what it was about, I knew it would be a must-watch.

The drama follows Emma and Charlie, whose relationship is put to the test by an unexpected revelation in the week before their wedding. What follows ensures that the film certainly lives up to its name – that’s all I’ll say.

What did the critics say about The Drama?

The drama received mostly positive reviews and earned a 71% Rotten Tomatoes score, with plenty of praise for the two leads.

According to the critics’ consensus: “Flirting with complex themes, The drama walks a tonal tightrope with impressive poise thanks to career highlights by Robert Pattinson and Zendaya.”

The audience score is equally favorable, the verdict being: “Elevated by remarkable performances, The drama wrestles with questions of trust and forgiveness and draws out deeply uncomfortable emotions that linger long after the credits roll.”

The film joins an impressive line-up of A24 films from recent releases to the studio’s previous work. If you’re a fan of dark comedy and drama films, you won’t want to miss out The drama.
