1950. William Lee, an American expat in Mexico City, spends his days almost entirely alone, except for a few contacts with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton, an expat former soldier, new to the city, shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody.

Critics Consensus

A phantasmagorical distillation of William S. Burroughs' preoccupations that's by turns meandering and vital, Queer marks one of Daniel Craig's most sterling performances yet.

Wenlei Ma

The Nightly (AU)

Luca Guadagnino always has a singular vision in his work and while not every element works, you’re always glad he put it out there.

Rated: 3/5

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

It’s as if [Daniel Craig]’s reminding you that he proved himself as a gifted, versatile – and occasionally unglamorous – actor long before 007 called on his services.

Rated: 3/5

Stephen Romei

The Australian

Craig’s emotionally raw performance is the highlight of this patchy film based on the 1985 semi-autobiographical novella of the same name by American writer William S. Burroughs.

Rated: 3/5

Jason Shawhan

Nashville Scene

At this current historical moment, Queer is a work of radical theory and intent that, while it’s still legal, enriches the medium and cranks up all the conflicted emotional responses.

Rohan Naahar

The Indian Express

A vibrant and sometimes venomous adaptation of William S Burroughs' novel, Luca Guadagnino's latest film features a magnetic central performance by Daniel Craig.

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

[Craig's] performance out front of Queer, playing a gay American writer in exile down Mexico way in the 1950s, is one of his finest to date.

Rated: 3/5

Unfortunately, the story was very similar to my current situation in life. But, awesome movie nonetheless. The story reaching ultimate love was undeniable.
