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.

Bill Goodykoontz

Arizona Republic

At 2 hours and 17 minutes, the film is a little bloated, though the expansiveness and inventiveness of the filmmaking make that sound like complaining about too much dessert.

Rated: 4/5

Rebecca Tucker

Globe and Mail

It is a remarkably beautiful portrait of agony, anchored by Craig’s remarkably understated performance. But it’s also a film at odds with itself. With Queer, Guadagnino has made a movie unsure of its own identity, visually and stylistically.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

[Daniel Craig's] performance is continually undermined by the arch artificiality of the film’s design. Shot largely on a set constructed at Rome’s Cinecittà studios, the whole look of the picture screams phoniness.

Rated: 2/5

Queer is a stubbornly inert film, striving for knockout emotional truths without ever once achieving them. Full review in Spanish]

Cine Premiere

The picture is full of life and beauty, but the story focuses on characters too self-absorbed to live or even try to satisfy their inner emptiness. [Full review in Spanish]

"Queer" feels vintage and period but also otherworldly. It is gorgeously crafted from the costumes and production design to the cinematography and music.

Great as a technical achievement. Daniel Craig puts up a tremendous performance. The third act loses me a little bit but the film is worth a watch and deserves the awards attention it’s getting.

Possibly worst movie I have ever seen. Do not waste the time or money! If there is some hidden meaning to this film it was lost.
