“‘The drama’ with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson is arthouse cinema at its best. (...) The drama is pitch-black and virtuosic, Borgli pairs Thomas Vinterberg with Charlie Kaufman. It is wanton arthouse cinema at its best.” ★★★★ - in De Standaard
“‘The Drama’ is a black wedding comedy that is brilliantly sold by the two lead actors.” ★★★★ - in De Volkskrant
“Partly thanks to the strong cast, the psychological tension is raised to an almost unbearable level” ★★★ - in VPRO Cinema
