Answer 1

Did you try looping through form.errors in template?
{% if form.errors %}
{% for field in form %}
{% for error in field.errors %}
{{ error }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
{{ error }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Answer 2

When you are rendering fields manually you would have to use error tags.
{{ form.name_of_field.errors }}
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
{{ form.name|as_crispy_field }}
{{ form.name.errors}}
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
{{ form.email|as_crispy_field }}
{{ form.email.errors}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{ form.subject|as_crispy_field }}
{{ form.subject.errors}}
{{ form.message|as_crispy_field }}
{{ form.message.errors}}
</div>
<div class="text-center"><button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary ">Send Message</button></div>
</form>
