“Guadagnino wants not only to expand your consciousness as a moviegoer, but to cut you open and rearrange all the parts of you that see and feel things when you watch a film at all.”
– Ryan Lattanzio, INDIEWIRE -
“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.”
– David Fear, ROLLING STONE -
“In Queer, Luca Guadagnino meets William S. Burroughs on the iconoclast’s own slippery terms and the result is mesmerizing.”
– David Rooney, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER -
“Visually splendid, emotionally arresting, and features some of the finest filmmaking of Guadagnino's already-accomplished career.”
– Siddhant Adlakha, IGN -
“Queer, stylish as it is, may be [Guadagino’s] most heartfelt movie since Call Me By Your Name."
– Stephanie Zacharek, TIME MAGAZINE
