Review Delantero Review: A Modest Cuban Gay Drama About Football, Fear, and Coming Out

Delantero is a small-scale Cuban queer drama that uses football as a backdrop for a young man’s struggle with fear, shame, and self-acceptance. Rough around the edges but emotionally sincere, it is at its best in the quiet moments of support that surround its closeted lead.
