The Cut • • general
Key Points:
- The marketing campaign for Kristoffer Borgli's dark comedy "The Drama" misleadingly focused on the couple's wedding, downplaying the film's provocative twist involving Zendaya's character revealing a past school shooting plan 25 minutes in.
- The unexpected plot turn shocked viewers like rapper JT, who initially expected a quirky romance but became paranoid during the screening due to the film's unsettling content and atmosphere.
- JT publicly criticized the film's producers on TikTok, calling for legal action, yet ultimately described the movie as thought-provoking and recommended it despite its controversial elements.
- The director's intention to provoke strong reactions seems successful, with JT's mixed but engaged response reflecting the film's edgy tone and potential appeal to A24's audience.
