**Drag: A Thrilling Ride at SXSW** You might expect a movie called "Drag" to be about people dressed in outfits that are a bit untraditional. But, no, this film by debut directors Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer takes a different path. It's about pulling a heavy object, in this case, a woman, and the unexpected twists that unfold. The movie begins with a house robbery gone wrong, involving two quarrelsome sisters, Lizzy Caplan and Lucy DeVito. They find themselves in a deep mess as they try to get out of the situation. The plot is simple, but the tension and dark humor that follow make for an entertaining ride. One of the interesting aspects of the movie is its focus on the relationships between the two sisters. They are not given names, with Caplan's character being referred to as "Fuckup" and DeVito's as "Sister". This unusual approach adds to the film's gritty tone. The movie explores themes of family, conflict, and the consequences of one's actions. It's a narrow premise, but the filmmakers do a great job of sustaining the tension and humor throughout the 90-minute runtime. As a premiere at SXSW's Midnighter selection, "Drag" is likely to be a hit. It's a caustic and entertaining film that will appeal to those who enjoy dark humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Nigerian readers might be interested to know that "Drag" is one of the films selected for the SXSW Midnighter series, which showcases bold and irreverent movies that push the boundaries of storytelling. If you're a fan of films that take risks and challenge your expectations, then "Drag" is definitely worth checking out. **In Naija Context** While "Drag" may not have any direct connections to Nigerian culture, it's interesting to note that the film's themes of family conflict and the consequences of one's actions are universal and can be applied to various cultural contexts. In Nigeria, for example, the importance of family and community ties is deeply ingrained in the country's culture. The film's exploration of these themes could resonate with Nigerian audiences who value the importance of family and relationships. Additionally, the film's use of dark humor and irreverent storytelling is reminiscent of some of the bold and edgy content that can be found in Nollywood films. If you're a fan of Nigerian cinema, you might appreciate the similar tone and style of "Drag".
