It’s Dhont at his most tender and his most mature, crafting a stunning piece of work and one of the best films of the year, of any year.

Malek is something of a wonder here, in a career best performance and the most adventurous thing he’s done since Mr. Robot.

As an actor, Firstman really comes into his own here, able to remove his persona exterior for moments of bracing vulnerability. It’s a fantastic performance.
