Memphis Movies This Week: Complicated romance in ‘The Drama,’ ‘Fantasy Life’
Robert Pattinson and Zendaya star in “The Drama,” a new A24 film by director Kristoffer Borgli.
This week brings a couple of promising romantic dramas, big and small, to local screens.
In wide release is “The Drama,” which pairs high-wattage young stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as an engaged couple whose relationship encounters a big twist during their wedding week. Get there ahead of the spoilers. Writer-director Kristoffer Borgli’s previous film was the mind-bending 2023 Nicolas Cage comedy “Dream Scenario.”
Opening at Ridgeway Cinema Grill is “Fantasy Life,” the kind of apparently-engaging small-scale indie film that was more common a generation ago.
