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.

Audience Says

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

Jessica Kiang Sight & Sound Nov 20
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. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Feb 19

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. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Feb 8
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. Go to Full Review Nicolás Medina Peliplat Dec 4

"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] Go to Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Nov 2
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. Go to Full Review Stephen Garrett Book & Film Globe Aug 26
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

jenny Jun 20 drew starkey the actor you are See more John 01/22/2025 Horrible movie made no sense and complete waste of time. See more Eric 01/17/2025 F. Worst movie with Daniel Craig. See more TIM C 01/16/2025 Daniel Craig is a revelation in his portrayal of a tender person longing for human connection, emotional or otherwise. One of the many indelible images/scenes for me is when he gently glides his fingers on the face of his love interest--the kind of tenderness & delicacy is envious even for straight romance. Without his stark contrast of the ultimate masculinity of 007, Daniel Craig deserves the total recognition for his role in Queer--you would think that he's not "playing" a gay man with affectionate desires but "lives" the life of one longing for connection & empathy.
