What to Know

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.

Maureen Lee Lenker Entertainment Weekly Queer is an exercise in cinematic smugness. Rated: C Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Drew Gregory Autostraddle The film has the kind of carnal gay sex we rarely see on-screen — at least not in English language films of this budget. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast The film may be as fragmented as its protagonist and, ultimately, unable to reconcile its disparate facets, but its headliner’s portrait of desire, degradation, and delirium is a sight to behold—and the performance of his career. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire Surreal, funny, and most of all sexy, Queer challenges the audience in ways that will almost certainly ensure it is divisive, but are incredibly ambitious swings nonetheless. Rated: 10/10 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters As stylized as Queer undoubtedly is, its greatest quality is the honesty with which it portrays the many plights of humanity, from a general sense of purposelessness to aging, addiction, accepting one’s own queerness, and especially the longing for love. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Isobel Grieve The Mary Sue Daniel Craig is, of course, incredible, as always. He is sorrowful, pleading, and a downright mess as William Lee in William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical trip through Central and South America. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
