Success or failure? Queer, the new project by Daniel Craig and Luca Guadagnino, premieres on Rotten Tomatoes

Luca Guadagnino is one of the trendiest directors, and the best example of this is that just a few months after the success of Challengers, a film that premiered last April, he is now back with a new film: Queer. Although it is scheduled to be released on January 3, the movie has been seen at festivals, and on Rotten Tomatoes critics have already given their verdict.

The film has premiered with a 78% positive reviews, based on 85 reviews. This means that everything seems to indicate that it will be a very good movie, although it doesn’t have the perfect scores of the best ones. However, everything will depend on the audience, who will ultimately determine its fate.

Daniel Craig is spectacular in his role

Some of the criticisms that have emerged about Queer are the following:

“Queer by Luca Guadagnino is a completely transcendent visual experience, which captures both the sensual beauty and the dark tragedy of the 1985 novel and the life of the author William S. Burroughs himself” —Bill Bria, Discussing Film

“Queer keeps the protagonist at a safe distance thanks to its style, but uses those details to hide the fact that perhaps there isn’t much to offer in Lee…” —Mark Dujsik

“The weight of the entire movie falls on Craig, whose performance is a marvel with a felt hat and dirt stains on his linen pants. Queer is a reminder of how good an actor he is and how brave he can be: naked, needy, and harmful. You will be shocked and moved” —Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

“Daniel Craig is absolutely sensational in what proves to be a transformative role, initially playing with our expectations of his world-famous James Bond performance before joyfully shattering those assumptions over its 135-minute runtime” —Jeremy Mathai, Slashfilm
