The juiciness of the storyline overflows into a series of rushing strawberry rapids that will carry you away.

It’s a dizzying, life-affirming anthem about how it’s never too late to find your way home in the arms of your lover, even if you may have lost your way.

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. You’ll have the songs stuck in your head for weeks, too.

The only way to enjoy Queens of Drama is to surrender to its excesses. Which explains why it works so perfectly as a bold lesbian melodrama best told in pop and punk numbers.

Queens delights in its inspirations, saturates its toxic love story with the markings of an era just now getting its resurgence.

Ultimately, first-timer Langlois is unable to find a discipline within the excess that might keep these Queens on course over feature length. In fairness, his shorts were also over-long, so this won’t be a deterrent to his core crowd.

The film did not nail it in many regards, but it is a truly entertaining tribute to queer pop and obsessed fandoms. Queens of Drama is, in the end, a delightful hot mess.

Queens of Drama is such a fun, over-the-top ride! Louiza Aura and Gio Ventura totally steal the show as Mimi and Billie their chemistry is electric, and you can’t help but root for them. The music’s super catchy, and Alexis Langlois goes all out with the wild, colorful vibe. It gets a bit chaotic at times, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. Perfect for anyone who loves **** romance with a side of sparkly drama!
