Film Review – The Drama

Kristoffer Borgli is the creator of strange movies. He’s a director known for his work on 2022’s “Sick of Myself” and 2023’s “Dream Scenario,” dabbling in indie film oddity featuring abrasive, troubled characters stuck in upsetting situations of their own making. Borgli takes a few steps toward the mainstream with “The Drama,” but he hasn’t abandoned his fondness for uncomfortable situations, scripting another tale of psychological implosion that follows all the trouble that arrives for an engaged couple after the bride-to-be confesses a grim secret right before their wedding day. “The Drama” has its moments of seriousness, but it’s mostly a dark comedy about the processing of disturbing information, with Borgli looking to extend the torment of a groom who suddenly knows too much about his partner for as long as possible.
