This afternoon I went to the Events Cinema Carindale where I saw the movie The Drama. Charlie (Robert Pattinson) encounters Emma(Zendaya)at a cafe which she was reading a book and they start to date which they get engaged 2 years later they planned their wedding but then during a conversation with Mike (Mamoudou Athie) and his wife Rachel(Alana Haim) which they tell their secrets Emma reveals that she had planned to do a school shooting which led to her deafness and the relationship is strained which then it gets interesting. It is gripping and impressive with excellent acting by Zendaya, Robert Pattison, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Sydney Lemmon. It was directed by Kristoffer Borgil who also wrote it and produced by Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen and Tyler Campellone. I give it 4 stars as it's in the cinemas now and please do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
