Set in 1950s Mexico City, Queer follows Lee (Daniel Craig) who, after fleeing from a drug bust in New Orleans, finds himself adrift among the night life and outcasts of the city. He becomes infatuated with drug user Allerton (Drew Starkey), a discharged American Navy serviceman. Based on the novel by William S. Burroughs.
"Embodying Burroughs’ alter ego and cycling through Lee’s lust, jealousy, world-weariness, neediness, and bliss, Craig cracks this smitten, doomed romantic wide open. It’s the role of a lifetime if you hold nothing back. So he doesn’t." - Rolling Stone
"Queer, stylish as it is, may be his most heartfelt movie, at least since Call Me By Your Name." - TIME Magazine
"In Queer, Luca Guadagnino meets William S. Burroughs on the iconoclast’s own slippery terms and the result is mesmerizing." - Hollywood Reporter
