Coward

Coward (2026) is a Belgian war drama you can watch online on iFILM, from director Lukas Dhont — whose Close claimed the Grand Prix at Cannes 2022. His new film moves from the intimacy of adolescence to the scale of the First World War, without abandoning what he does best.

Pierre, a young Belgian soldier, wants to reach the front. It is less a matter of aggression than of proof — that he belongs, that he matters. Behind the lines he meets Francis, tasked with keeping morale from collapsing among men who have long stopped believing in the point of any of it. The two of them inch toward something neither is prepared to name.

Dhont builds the film slowly, letting the silence carry the weight. What makes Coward unusual among WWI pictures is how little it cares about strategy or battles — it cares about two people, carrying the weight of everything outside. Stream Coward (2026) online on iFILM.
