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.

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.

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.

3/5

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.

Queens of Drama draws attention to the horrors of being perceived by those who never have your best interest at heart, the horrors of the public persona, and the horrors of fame and wealth.

We’re meant to understand these interactions as obtusely histrionic, and upon doing so, one can further observe how the film coalesces themes of queerness, adolescence, and the dark side of cultural pedigree into a scrumptious thesis statement.

Queens of Drama is destined to become a cult film. This appealing drama has a sparkly, edgy, and at times campy vibe. Some fun pop songs belie its low-budget nature and strong queer sensibility.
