Who might not

Some modern viewers might find the portrayal of the gay couple "frustratingly coy" by today's standards, though it was progressive for its time.

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). Viewed today, the film’s treatment of same-sex couple Gareth (Simon Callow) and Matthew (John Hannah) might seem frustratingly coy: displays of affection between the pair are largely limited to warm glances, and the word “gay” is never uttered. But at the time of Four Weddings’ release, LGBTQ+ screen characters were invariably defined by their otherness.
