I had absolutely no expectations from the movie, so I really liked it. I laughed a lot) I really enjoyed watching it! We both played great 👌
// but I admit that it may be a shock to the American audience. Fortunately, there is no such severe bullying problem in Russia yet, so it is not perceived as something terrifying.
// But if we draw an analogy, then the show was waiting for such dramas of 10 pieces per issue :D
Before the wedding, the characters were kind of bland and there was an estrangement between the couple.
The DJ said it right: Zendaya's character is a bitch, and the guy is a mumbler.
And after the wedding, I liked the meeting in the cafe even more.
A sluggish, tedious picture, where everything revolves around the childish, not particularly catchy problem of the main character. As for a movie called "What a drama!" there is catastrophically little of that drama here. I looked at it and forgot it, and you can't call it an easy viewing..
I really liked the movie. Maybe he just pushed on all the sensitive topics.. Condemnation for the mistakes of the past. The gender issue. Bullying. It seems to me that very deep issues have been raised if you look at them thoughtfully. I didn't expect this from this movie.
shooting at schools/ universities/ similar institutions often happens in Russia.
Yes, the statistics are lower, but in the last decade the number has become many times higher than it was before
, and these are not isolated cases.
when I was studying (I graduated from high school in 2019, and from university last year), there were similar cases, and I can't say that I wasn't afraid.
And so, it's a good movie, Zendaya opened up to me from a different angle, before that I had only seen her in superhero movies or in Dune.
Well, Zendaya and Robert are good here. It became a pity that she would be cosplaying Sasha Petrov this year, and many people would be tired of her.
but still, they both really pull it all out. Yes, it might have been a little tedious and slow in the swing, but everything was fine in the acting.
By the way, it's not exactly a romcom either. There is not much humor and comedy, as such. this is still a drama, as it is actually written in the title, with throwing topics to think about and compare with yourself. through all these revelations, emotions, hypocrisy and introspection.
he loads his head very well with this, and you definitely shouldn't expect any relaxation from the film. but overall, I rather liked it all more. or the movie just got into my mood.
I will repair the film)
Last year we discussed the choice of a "materialist",
this year we will discuss: "getting ready and almost reaching the end is the same thing or not."
Zen hardly saw the game, and Robert had a benefit.
It is not clear whether the scene where they saw the DJ's girlfriend at a party was cut from the offline rental in Russia or not.
I watched the version where this moment was, I thought maybe something more fried was cut out)
"On the needle" now they wouldn't show at all, apparently))
for, but only because Rachel pissed me off so much(?? Mike's wife), in fact, it was her behavior that started the whole DRAMA 🤭 pun intended
in short, I definitely recommend watching it!!
The wedding friend was very naughty, that's who the real hypocrite with double standards is.
Merlin Manson:
— Nothing. I would have listened to what they would have said. No one would have done that.
I can't say that I really liked the movie, I followed Zendaya more, but I loaded up a little in the course of the narration. It is clear that the film is not for the Russian audience, and although we have a mass-scouting theme, it is not so painful that we take everything very personally. I agree that no one condemned my friend's act, and Charlie's Internet bullying, which is also not good at all, too. But it seems to me that there is a special emphasis on this. That Mike, who shielded himself from the dog with his own girlfriend, that Rachel, who locked a mentally retarded boy in a closet and left him overnight, that Charlie had cheated on the boy online, are the same assholes. But they have excuses and they have rights to them, and Emma has no rights and generally "burn in hell, creature."
For us, the plot of the film is "overblown", for the American audience, there is probably something to think hard about.
The actors liked everything, I didn't regret that I went absolutely, I liked the installation solutions, like anxiety attacks. 3.5 strong people who are without sin, let them throw a stone at me.
But the fact that Rachel is a rat is nothing to say. Teenagers at the age of 14 after moving, in a place where it is not possible to make friends, are prone to even more drama and suffering (everyone will die, but I will stay - straight classics). At her core, Emma didn't stray too far from that.
But whether the movie will work when viewed again is a question.
In general, it's interesting how everyone here discusses Rachel's act, but there is not much discussion of Charlie's act, and this can also be said to be the behavior of a person with a cool head for several days, months, or who knows. I think that all their worst actions are enough to think about continuing a relationship with this person, and I don't understand those who belittle the importance of Emma's actions. She might not have done anything in the end, but I would also have been paranoid that she might start thinking about it again. Nevertheless, adequate people do not practice shooting in order to deal with classmates later.
Actually, I was very impressed with the film. Zendaya and Robert just won over here with their game.
For me, there are no disadvantages in this movie at all, except that the duration (and even so, every minute was interesting)
The visual and complex topics that were touched upon were especially interesting, very unexpected and cool!
I even remember how it was romanticized on social media ten years ago.social media (it was terrible, in my opinion)
I wanted to watch other films directed by
, then be sure to watch his previous film, "The Hero of Our Dreams." It's almost as good as Drama, but in some ways I liked it even more.
The second film by Christopher Borghi, which again generates hatred for several characters, but not for the center of the conflict. And let the topic raised surprise you with its suddenness (although I was close in my expectations + the spoiler in the disclaimer made it more precise), but no one here (except the character of Zendaya, again) I can't justify it. Terrified, incapable of common sense, hypocritical idiots who only want to find a reason for hatred in order to justify their own short-sightedness. And you sit there and freak out with their nonsense while your wife whispers that it's all just a movie. Except it's all the same around here. And it pisses me off three times.
Pattinson and Zendaya play off each other perfectly, and some visual solutions are still in my head.
But it's not even clear what feelings I felt after watching it.
As many wrote above, the situation is more relevant for that side, of course, though.....
The most accurate description for Charlie was given by a DJ - "pathetic smash"
Really the whole fil be me ku ka re ku
And by the way, it was his character in childhood who was the very impetus for people like Emma in childhood.
Well, another confirmation that all these Internet trolls in real life are very pathetic)
I don't know. It's very strange and easily broken.
In stories about bad deeds, the characters are trapped in a comparison and sentencing, whose is the more severe. Imagine how convenient it is to whitewash yourself at the expense of others instead of giving more importance to your real bullying actions. Because of which, among other things, mass-scouting thoughts may arise. Good food for discussion!
Rachel, fuck you. He judges by his thoughts without knowing the whole story. She also fucked up at work, they couldn't get in touch with her, for which she was deservedly kicked out.
The installation is very exciting!
But I still didn't understand why the DJ was fired. What do you care what she does in her free time, as long as she doesn't harm anyone.
After the movie, I wanted a cheeseburger...
the beginning of the movie, by the way, is really great, where they prepare speeches and how it's mixed.
However, I'm not sure about the actress dubbing Zendaya.. It's like passing by a little bit..
It will be necessary to revise the original version.
I still don't understand what expectations were disappointed. But I didn't watch the trailers either, I was only familiar with the synopsis.
Emma initially told Charlie that she didn't see this as a problem, but he took it out of her head that they should talk to DJ about it. In the end, she had to do the talking.
I think Emma would have given up altogether if it weren't for his paranoia that a "heroin DJ" would ruin their wedding. As a result, he ruined everything himself.
I expected the film to be about a couple from both sides, but it's obviously only shown from Charlie's perspective. Therefore, sometimes there was a desire to see what was happening also through Emma's eyes for a more complete picture. But we were given what we were given, and like Charlie, we can only think about it (hello to Charlie the alarmist) and explain through our own prism who is doing this and why.
Many people have complaints about Rachel and her reaction, but she is generally understandable and does not need to be deeply immersed in the topic of schoolshooting. It is unlikely that anyone, no matter how honest and correct a person he considers himself, in such a situation would climb into the embrasure with the words: "Come on, her story is nothing compared to mine, so I'm 100% a creature for doing that. Please attack me and forget about her." This is a basic desire to be ashamed of such an act and try to merge from this attention. Yes, we would like to see her regrets and stuff shown, but the story is not about her.
Charlie is an insecure worrier, he succumbed to the strongest emotions in that room and the opinion of the majority. Yes, I would like him to side with his fiancee at that moment and not be an "asshole," but he acted quite understandably for his personality type.
In general, it is very well shown how anxiety accelerates in such people: from winding up (reviewing life situations - aggression against the driver and slaps in the face) through a new prism to getting approval that his opinion is correct (Charlie's conversation with Misha). All the insecure worriers found themselves in Charlie and understood him in almost every scene. One of the strange things is how, by his age, he had not done anything about it with their popularization of therapy.
For myself, I still haven't decided how I would like to see the ending. So that Charlie, with another "let's start from the beginning," realizing the consequences of his behavior, would follow the path of serious internal restructuring for the benefit of himself and others. Or for the movie to end exactly as it is, with the understanding that you don't need to know everything about your partner and that the decision is yours to make.
The film turned out to be very good for discussion.
but I'm biased because I love Both Robert and Zendaya))
most of all, I was infuriated by my girlfriend, who was so judgmental)) that is, how she locked a mentally retarded boy in a closet and didn't tell anyone - this is normal, she was a child) the fact that he survived was pure chance) in the woods, alone, in a closet ...
Charlie's friend turned out to be the most adequate)) I tried to calm them down, sort them out, and calm everyone down)
psy. it's a special thrill to listen to Gavrilin's voice, I just saw Edward ahaha
The film definitely made me think, it was never boring, despite the scarcity of events, the acting is excellent (I have no doubt in Rob for a long time, Zendaya is good, but imho it plays out the same way in all films), the visual is also very pleasant.
The film is still more suitable for private viewing, I think)
And would it look different if a male character was planning a shooting and walking around the house with a knife?
They all started from the beginning, but maybe they should have understood themselves first.
As I understand it, bullying has not happened to you.
@Korotkaya: I'm sorry, but I can't help but insert my 5 kopecks, even though no one asked me...)
First of all, about the "why". I support the comment from above. Emma has an answer - she was bullied at school, she was depressed, this is a typical story, unfortunately. A child with an unstable mind had terrible thoughts, but she did not embody them, but coped with it. And she went on to join the organization against guns. What more do you want from her? Therapy on camera?
Secondly, about "Charlie tried to understand and justify." From the very beginning of the film, Charlie seems spineless and like he needs someone else's approval. This is especially evident in the dating scene, when he took a picture of the book to please. When Emma told him about her childhood thoughts, he initially laughed it off, but after Rachel threw a tantrum, he picked up on her mood and began to unleash paranoia himself. I don't think it was an attempt to understand, and in this situation he just joined the majority, rather than making his own moral choice.
And most importantly, why are you fixated on Emma's thoughts, but not on Rachel's real actions? She locked a mentally retarded child in a closet in the woods. This is real cruelty. And the same Rachel accuses Emma of THINKING about violence. How is this even comparable?
Yes, thoughts can be scary, but judging for thoughts, turning a blind eye to deeds, is pure hypocrisy. Emma has committed nothing but honesty.
Thirdly, yes, Emma had outbursts of anger. But they were in response to pressure, harassment, and unfair condemnation. This is not proof of the "darkness inside", but the normal reaction of a cornered person.
"And would it look different if a male character was planning a shooting and walking around the house with a knife?"
Let's be honest, if instead of Emma there was a man who planned school shooting as a child, practiced shooting, and then grew up and talked about it over dinner, the reaction would most likely be even tougher. He would have been instantly branded a potential terrorist, the police would have been called, and the wedding would have been canceled. In this sense, there really is a gender double standard. Society is used to being afraid of aggressive men, and women with guns are less likely to be seen.
But this does not negate the main question - is it fair to judge a person for thoughts that he did not put into action, regardless of his gender? Yes, gender matters, but it shouldn't obscure the fact that Emma is the only one who has done nothing really wrong, but has become the main target.
I think it's better to watch this picture on your own.
And it's probably possible to imagine the film as a portrait of a generation that adopted the concept of "not suppressing anything in yourself, not being shy about expressing yourself to everyone." With this attitude, self-control and self-discipline are not achievable.
The fact that he was talking nonsense at the wedding was absolutely not one of those attitudes.
A24 has such a moment: it's a cool idea, but something is missing - that's how it was here.
The film touches on current issues and is flavored with humor. The heroine of Zendaya is holistic, charming and sexy, Pattinson's character is sometimes Edward from Twilight, sometimes Mickey from Mickey 17, the heroine's girlfriend is very annoying, and her boyfriend Mike is just there.
From a romantic beginning to a boring discussion at the table with friends, and after that - a swinging pendulum of interest, which swings stronger and stronger over time.
A pleasant variety compared to the horror films that I used to watch from this studio.
The "drama" as such is about whether the attitude towards the person you love will change if you find out something bad about him (And, by the way, my friend's reaction to that "bad thing" pissed me off). This "bad thing" itself is not directly intriguing or creating a plot twist, so don't expect something like "wow."
It's funny how after Charlie's "story" about bullying, his friends said that he was immature and his brain hadn't formed at the age of 14. But when it came to Emma, the tragedy played out for the whole movie. But if such a principle had been applied to her, then the film would not have happened. 🙃
She didn 't do it because there was another mass scouting the day before . If it wasn't for this fact, she wouldn't have changed her thoughts and plan.
She remained the person who completely prepared the massacre.
Yes, there are a lot of questions for her parents, to be honest. Yes, it's clear that teenagers have all sorts of things going on in their heads. But in my opinion, these are not excuses.
I didn't like the ending.It would be more realistic if they broke up completely and started relationships with other people and no longer shared personal information while drunk.
Any man with a testosterone level within the normal range, if he found out about such a "secret" of his girlfriend, he would not let her out of bed for a week and King Arthur himself would not be able to get her out. But here, it seems, another psychotherapeutic scarecrow is "working through injuries" and repenting for his insecurity and toxicity. Is it possible not to make a movie about this next time, but to leave all this garbage in the therapist's office?
But overall, I liked the movie. Frames. Acting game. Emma's school period has been delayed a bit, but then again, the difference in countries and social issues is most likely to blame. But the wedding... Wedding fire!! 🔥🔥🔥
The fact that a friend reacted sharply is a fact, but still we are all different (and she also had experience) and for some even thoughts are perceived as a crime. People live within their own limits of normality, and one step away is for them to lose their temper. In the beginning, friends laughed at how Charlie bullied a neighbor, which is quite normal for them, but they talked about the kid in the closet in the movie again. Hypocrisy in one word.
Oh, that was the most awkward wedding fuss ever.🙈
Damn, their ass burned out there because someone wanted something, but didn't do it 15 years ago.
I didn't really like the film itself because I couldn't fully reveal what the director intended to convey to the audience.
The main acting duo Zee and Rob, of course, played this whole drama perfectly and their emotions poured through the screen, but all these stormy streams seemed to be unable to wash the strings of my soul)
I looked, and okay.
I think this movie should be shown to everyone who wants to get married in the second month after they met)) Immediately discourages all desire. After all, we need to get to know each other more (at least ask, "What's the worst thing you've done in your life?":D).
I didn't quite understand how he was testing the strength of couples' relationships..
But in fact, on the one hand, it's kind of stupid to judge her for what she didn't do in the end. But on the other hand, after such information, it's a little difficult to just continue communication, and even more so a relationship.
I can't say that I really liked the movie, but I deserved a four.
But the most courageous was the girlfriend, who locked the kid up and ran away, and was silent while they searched for him for a day! But for some reason it was possible for her to justify herself and hide behind the fact that "I was afraid" such people would be thrown at once or twice and even her conscience would not rise. She had no right to condemn GG-nu at all.
I wasn't impressed with the end, and then both of them had cockroaches in their heads and decided that it was probably best not to find a mate, so they started over, no matter how logical, but I wanted them to never meet again...
Everyone makes mistakes, but Emma only wanted to, but she did, and because of this, her fiance was afraid of her throughout the film and her friend despised her-it's strange. My friend was pissing me off the whole movie. She laughs at her actions and condemns others. Charlie is such a tough guy by nature and his hairstyle annoyed me.
A one-time movie.
Zendaya herself is not suitable for this role. She already looks like she can pull it in. Plus, she's already played a lot of movie roles. There is no contrast between her image and her past, as if she were some prettier and more fragile actress.
It was shot and mounted well. The script and casting are not up to par.
A friend with her superiority, he also with jokes. Well, a wedding in the Russian tradition with scandals and a fight.
God, I loved the whole Robert Pattinson movie. I'm just glad that I live with him at the same time.
I liked that Charlie would try to forget Emma's failed prank, and she would try to forget his failed betrayal. In real life, men forgive women everything, and we forgive them nothing.
Ahah, there's a lot to learn.…
I won't hide it, if I were in Charlie's place, I would cancel the wedding, and if I were in Emma's place, I would file for divorce, and not play back in the final scene in the cafe.
The groom's speech hit the very heart, this is perfect love according to the theory of Robert Sternberg: 1) "you're my best friend" is about emotional intimacy; 2) we have great sex; 3) well, obligations, we see that he did not postpone or cancel the wedding with Emma.
It is strange that someone writes that the twist in the film allegedly does not concern Russia. 🙈🙉🙊 I'm amazed at people.
Our children go through the frame at school, except not with a gun, but with knives and hammers. Teachers are in intensive care with fractured skulls, guards are injured, children are dead. And that's just what is known. Schools often try to hide everything from law enforcement officers, law enforcement officers from the media, and the media end up being blamed by the legislature and State Duma deputies for what they published.
Bottom line: in 2026, we only watch the "scary American" movie about bullying, which also turned out to be about someone else's perfect love.
The main negative character here is Charlie. As many here have already put it, he's an outspoken mumbler, but that's just the icing on the cake. The pulp is in his absolute, completely unhealthy, insanity and complete rejection of everything they've been through for two years. He had such doubts and was so fixated on it, as if she had really shot someone, and he had known her for a month and now he was going to irrevocably link his life with her.
She doesn't need to be treated, she accepted herself a long time ago and changed a long time ago, but he needs to see a psychiatrist urgently.
A separate detail, among other things, is that he is a pathological liar, and this is literally shown from the very first scene of the film.
It's a special charm to see the bridesmaids as the person who literally makes people like Emma appear. She injured the child, abandoned him, did not confess to anyone, and to the last denies that she is to blame for anything. When I found out Emma's secret, being supposedly a friend, I didn't even try to find out anything, ask, I just immediately ran into her and started bullying. And even at the wedding, she also insulted her in her speech. I'm sure she considers herself a victim and a righteous person to the last.
Perhaps this topic is not close to us, which is why it is so difficult for me to understand the motives of the film and the essence of the plot, but for me, this is an absolutely sucked story. If such situations are real, and if people like Charlie are real, you should walk around them two blocks away and never trust anything important. And I'm really sorry that the movie ended with her going back to it and deciding to start all over again.
The question from the author to the public is whether criminal intentions have a statute of limitations and whether it is possible to convict a person for them? My position is that there is a statute of limitations and it ends exactly at the moment when a person abandons this intention for his own reasons. And it is obvious that condemnation will not solve anything, will not help or fix it in any way.
The acting is very good in the context of the narrative - watching it was painful, listening to it was painful, trying to tolerate the characters was painful.
I can't raise my hand to give this film a rating higher than 5/10.
If I have correctly assessed the message, then it carries good motives, but the methods and ambiguity of the situation strongly lubricate these motives. There are simply no positive characters here. Emma is also not shown from the best side. She had a short temper and hid part of her life from her fiance. Misha also had no intention of stopping Charlie. Everyone around is not good, and why it was necessary to blur the contrast is not clear to me. Show that everyone is an asshole? Thank you, but there are too many things in life trying to show this, I don't want to lose faith in people anymore.
I have nothing to do with Pattinson, but it's clear that the actor is not bad, rather good. I think I'll get into it again.
I didn't understand the universal love for Zendaya. I watched the first movie with her, well, she seems nice, but so far there's nothing to be a fan of.
The movie is good and looks great, without sagging :)
