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.

Drew Gregory Autostraddle Queens of Drama is a true work of queer art, a film about projection and cruelty that acknowledges its own projection and refuses to be cruel. May 2, 2025 Full Review Manuel Betancourt Variety Like a well-choreographed drag number that knows that to mock is to love — and that you can never have too much glitter on if you want to dazzle under a disco ball — “Queens of Drama” is a wink of a good time. Apr 29, 2025 Full Review 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 Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Robert Stinner In Review Online The film is admirably ambitious, particularly in its brash aesthetic approach, yet Langlois’ failure to provoke any new insights about pop stardom, queer fandom, or turbulent relationships makes its visual and aural excess feel superfluous. May 3, 2025 Full Review David-Elijah Nahmod Bay Area Reporter “Queens of Drama” is ultimately an exciting, if heartbreaking, film by a fresh new talent. May 2, 2025 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A splashy, trashy, high-gloss wallow in selfie-centric melodrama which might well seem awesome to someone half or one-third my age.
