Queer

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.

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.

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.

It goes off the deep end, and the film was never that deep to begin with.

Back in the 1950s... all of this probably would've been a good deal more interesting. But I got to tell you, today it's not very interesting at all.

This is my favorite Guadagnino film so far.

Queer is a phantasmagoric exploration of Lee’s desperate quest for human connection and inner struggles with addiction and sexual identity anchored by a phenomenal performance from Daniel Craig.

Craig’s aching performance leaves you shaken and stirred.

In “Queer,” a daring Luca Guadagnino leaves behind any conventional narrative and follows the steps of his protagonist in a trance induced by an addictive drug: cinema.[Full review in Spanish]

Daniel Craig is a marvel here. He flings himself around inside Lee, clearly loving the vulnerability and the volatility of the role.
