I guess I’m lucky I didn’t fully read the synopsis of Lukas Dhont’s masterpiece before watching it. Small and yet global, silent yet audible across the universe, it’s a film which leaves you in no doubt that even the most casual homophobia kills. The corrosiveness of the simplest early encounter with being the subject of hate couldn’t have been more deftly presented, nor could it have been better acted - the tragedy of Leo and Remi feels deeply emotionally authentic.
