Warning: There are MAJOR spoilers in this article about The Drama, which hit theaters last weekend as part of the 2026 movie schedule. If you haven’t seen it yet, proceed with caution, or better yet, check out the movie! It’s disturbing and wonderful.
The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattison as an engaged couple dealing with a sudden, very disturbing revelation from Zendaya’s character Emma about her past, courted quite a bit of controversy when it first screened, after bewildering people with the trailer. The revelation that Emma had planned and almost committed a school shooting when she was a teenager really upset people, both in the movie and in the audience. I understand why, but I also don’t think the movie works without the shocking twist.
