The Queer Love Story That's Hard to Watch Lukas Dhont's latest film, Coward, has received a mixed reaction from critics.
Some praise it as his most ambitious work yet, while others criticize its mannerisms and emotional manipulation.
Having followed Dhont's career since his first two features, Girl and Close, I've landed somewhere in the middle. Coward deviates from Dhont's usual themes of exploring identity and trauma.
