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.

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

The Nightly (AU)

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.

Rated: 3/5

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Letras Libres

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