Reviews
- "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."
- IndieWire - "QUEER doesn’t scrimp on provocation and pleasure, but it’s also a beautiful film about male loneliness, and the way a solitary life can so easily shade into a life sentence."
- The Telegraph - "In QUEER, Luca Guadagnino meets William S. Burroughs on the iconoclast’s own slippery terms and the result is mesmerizing."
- The Hollywood Reporter - "Craig is so dominant that sometimes it seems that Gene is almost not worthy of him. Craig is strangely magnificent."
- The Guardian - "Visually splendid, emotionally arresting, and features some of the finest filmmaking of Guadagnino's already-accomplished career."
- IGN - "Burroughs believed in magic, and watching Queer, one has an inkling that Guadagnino does too."
- Little White Lies - "QUEER, stylish as it is, may be his most heartfelt movie, at least since Call Me By Your Name."
- TIME Magazine - "QUEER is a film out of its time in just about every way. That's what's invigorating about it."
