An outrageous lesbian pop musical satire inspired by the pop frenzy of the early 2000s, Queens of Drama charts the rise and fall of new star Mimi Madamour and her passionate, rage-fueled love affair with punk icon Billie Kohler. Over the course of half a century we follow these drama queens as they top the charts and set sail on the course of mad queer love. Featuring an iconic cast, including Asia Argento and Alma Jodorowsky, and containing hit songs like 'Don't Touch' by Yelle and 'Fisted to the Heart', this film vividly dissects the turbulence of toxic relationships--whether between fans and their idols or within passionate queer love affairs. Director Alexis Langlois brings his trademark glittercore pop-punk aesthetic to create a vibrant, unforgettable spectacle of music and passion.

James Scott

Austin Chronicle

Queens of Drama will definitely be someone’s favorite movie, and probably many people’s third favorite new French queer cinema entry. But for me, there’s just not enough core under the glitter.

Rated: 3/5

RogerEbert.com

Its transgressive musical numbers, deeply unserious tonal shifts, and larger-than-life characters make it a cult classic in the making.

Rated: 3.5/4

Lisa Kennedy

New York Times

With playful visual flourishes, a willfully garish palette and winks galore, Langlois’s debut has stylistic ambition for days.

Screen Rant

Queens of Drama is a deeply flawed musical tribute to queer pop, but it is still a joyous ride that is filled with visual spectacle and homage.

Rated: 5/10

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

[The film] revels in celebrity’s fabrication. The messaging is sound with a package dripping in gender queer excess.

Rated: 7/10

Alistair Ryder

The Film Stage

The film might not be set within the current moment, but Langlois always remains attuned to it, with his story about parasocial fandoms and the pressure they put on artists effortlessly transcending its period setting.
