Love is a concept often discussed in relation to “the one”. You might call it something else, depending on your sociological and cultural diet. But the meaning is usually the same, whether you’re discussing your “soulmate”, “other half”, “person”, or, for all the Friends fiends, your “lobster”. According to the ancient tradition of monogamy, this is the person you will marry and potentially start a family with.
But what if you find that person and then discover they did – or almost did – something terrible? That’s the central question at the heart of the film of the moment, The Drama, which stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Released last week, A24’s latest flick revolves around a young couple planning a wedding that could quite possibly be ruined by something rather terrible that I can’t divulge without spoiling the entire plot.
