In 2005, Mimi Madamour, the young pop idol, lives a curse and fiery romance with queer punk icon Billie Kohler. Amongst love, hatred, and torn desires for the spotlight, their pursuit of glory and their passion for each other lead them down a path of self-destruction. They are the symbol of an entire generation, a duo that unleashes crowds, they are the Queens of Drama.

Even when the narrative is almost consumed by everything around it, endlessly quotable dialogue and unforgettable earworms ensure Queens of Drama is already a cult classic in the making.

Rated: B+

Loud -- on every level -- proud, and not as much fun as it should be.

Spectrum Culture

Style is way, way more important in this kind of film, and director Alexis Langlois imagines a glittery fantasia that makes Moulin Rouge seem subtle.

Queens of Drama is pure fun: an explosion of color, camp, and music (I was humming “Pas Touche” for days). [Full Review in Spanish]

Cineuropa

Convenient narrative turns deflate the film of its energy and make it predictable, yet it remains satisfying to see genre filmmaking repurposed to tell such a heartfelt, queer and happy story.
