The few reviews I’ve been able to see mostly orbit people’s disappointment that this film isn’t the Awards Season Goliath they wanted it to be. As someone whose primary concern is wanting to get swept away in Guadagnino's surrealism and sensitivity, I really appreciate that this review genuinely considers Luca Guadagnino’s intentions as an artist. Really looking forward to seeing this film, when I get the chance!
@@kiaracelina thank you for this comment. Luca has been open about this being his most personal project and you can really see his love + connection to the source material
I wasn't particularly familiar with him prior to this, but now I will be keeping my eye on him. He didn't have a lot of dialogue in Queer, which makes his work even more impressive.
After hearing so much about this film, I think its become my most anticipated movie for the rest of the year. I simply cannot wait to see it, and i know for a fact I'm going to love it no matter what. so excited !!
@@mistercheetah9717 funny you mention that - Guadagnino talked about that entry during the Q&A at TIFF. It ended up forming much of the foundation of his approach for the project. Great comment!
What a lovely, thoughtful review. I wish I was able to articulate my feelings about Queer as well as you. I have also been thinking about it so much since seeing it last Wednesday. I think they did right by Burroughs for sure. I'm in awe of Daniel Craig's performance - I'm really wanting to go through his filmography now- i hope he gets Oscar recognition. Also the soundtrack as you mention - at first I was sort of shocked, but it really did make complete sense as a whole, I thought it was excellent. And Lesley Manville! My jaw was on floor. My fav. film of the year that i've seen so far.
Burroughs? I haven't read him in decades and then it was Soft Machine. I found Bukowski a bit more accessible but in the process traded the dreams of smack for the harsh reality of booze. The fact that Daniel Craig is in it gives me confidence that its worth seeing.
I hated the movie. I thought it was almost unwatchable. I felt completely misled after having watched the trailer. I can't believe someone who made CMBYN would make this. The movie is random, hard to follow, and has strange dialogue. It's not an enjoyable watch. One of the protagonists is a jerk the whole time, so there really is no love story, and it ends so abruptly. It doesn't even show you how they say goodbye to each other. It's just terrible overall. Only after reading about the novel and author, did it make a lot more sense. Still, though, this wasn't romantic. It was painful, sad, and tragic to watch.

Great review! So nice to see Drew Starkey acting in more films and outside of the tv show Outer Banks.
I wasn't particularly familiar with him prior to this, but now I will be keeping my eye on him. He didn't have a lot of dialogue in Queer, which makes his work even more impressive.
amazing review. very nice production value and aesthetic. what are you shooting on and with? camera? lens?
Much appreciated!
This was shot on a GH6 with the Olympus 45mm f1.2 lens.

@Z3dude12 I'm so happy to hear that! It requires some patience and an open mind, but it's well worth it if you are able to give it the space it needs
“Love? What is it? Most natural painkiller what there is.” William S. Burroughs final diary entry before his passing... Can't wait to see this.

If it’s A24 I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an abstract film, and if it is weird then I am DEFINITELY watching this!

@@nickhtk6285 I think that this sort of contextual literary understanding will set you on the right path to appreciating the work!

"It was painful, sad, and tragic to watch."
I agree! Although for different reasons, it seems.
