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.

Audience Says

With a compelling turn by Daniel Craig, Queer is a must for Burroughs fans and best appreciated as a book companion.

A superb Daniel Craig drinks and dopes his days away in Mexico and becomes besotted with a young man in Guadagnino’s poetic reinvention of Burroughs’ grimy, semi-autobiographical novel.

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.

3/5

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.

"It's not that the idea of adapting Queer is bad, it's that the way Guadagnino does it is, at times, a mockery of Burroughs' own text." [Full review in Spanish]

4.5/5

Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Queer captures, with both beauty and much melancholy, the haunted death-in-life of queerness that Burroughs knew himself.

5/5

A swoony-sweaty look at the uncertainty of love, Luca Guadagnino’s febrile period piece Queer is a mournful reverie for all the hapless, hopeless, feckless, reckless souls aching to connect.
