The Drop Review: Fowler & Konkle Deliver Good Performances In Indie Dramedy
Feb 10, 2023
Writer-director Sarah Adina Smith’s (Birds of Paradise) dramedy, The Drop, is a fascinating look into the genre and what audiences want. Co-written and co-starring Joshua Leonard (Fully Realized Humans), the script is wanting at times, but it has a few ideas and themes it sticks to throughout. The performances are good all around and Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You) is doing his best non-comedic work to date. Pen15 alum Anna Konkle has a tricky role to play and does so with an ease that is promising for her future in movies. The Drop has the right dose of drama and comedy.
