Movie Review Queer

Queer 

Directed by Luca Guadignino 

Written by Justin Kuritzkes

Starring Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, Jason Schwartzman 

Release Date November 27th, 2024 

Published December 2nd, 2024

Queer stars Daniel Craig in an adaptation of a William S. Burroughs novel of the same title. Craig stars as William Lee, an independently wealthy traveler on the run from a drug bust in the states and hiding out in Mexico City. Lee has found a small collection of fellow outsiders, gay hustlers, and so on, fleeing from the prying eyes of 1950s America for the seedy underbelly of Mexico City. While Lee enjoys the nightlife of the area, he’s a romantic at heart who seems to fall in love with the wrong man at every turn. 

His newest love interest is a mysterious former serviceman, Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), a strikingly handsome and much younger man who may or may not be gay. Eugene gives many mixed signals about his interests in men, spending much of his time with a female sex worker but also asking around about popular gay hook up spots. Eventually, Lee’s obsession with Eugene landed them both in the same nightclub and, with a little liquid encouragement, the two fall into bed.
