Escondido, California, 1994. It's the end of summer and Gene is preparing for his high school drama friends' final murder mystery slumber party. The theatrical hostess, Rose, will fly off to start college the next morning, followed by earnest Claire, magnetic Oscar, and sarcastic Ally. Yet Gene has bigger problems than being left behind by his best friends: he wants to come out of the closet - but is terrified of what they might think.

The young actors in Dramarama are all touchingly fresh and spontaneous and ideal for their roles, and they carry all this pop-culture dialogue and give it a chance of seeming natural.

For a certain subset of what Wysocki calls “the nerds and late-bloomers,” Dramarama has the potential to be a cult classic.

3.5/4

For any queer kids who sought theatre as a refuge, or for anyone haunted by childhoods end as embodied by high school graduation, Dramarama is a must-see. It also heralds Wysocki as a thoughtful director to watch.

3.5/5

I was not blown away but was satisfied enough with the outcomes of a film made appealing by the charm of its story and the sensitive talents of its actors.

Wysocki certainly captures the way these kids think and speak and react to all this drama, which is of course, especially heightened for a group of theatrical teens... the ensemble cast makes the friendships, rivalries, and unspoken desires believable
