In 'Queer,' Daniel Craig is outstanding as a fictionalized William S. Burroughs
Briefly

"Guadagnino brings to life in all its sweaty-scuzzy glory the world of an American drifter in 1950s Mexico City, exploring themes of desire and addiction."
"Lee spends his days hopping from bar to bar, hoping to lock eyes and more with the handsome young men he spots, particularly Eugene Allerton."
"The story is a moody account of thwarted longing, filmed with both roughness and tenderness in the intimate scenes between William Lee and Eugene Allerton."
"Lee, a stand-in for Burroughs, grapples with love, loss, and longing amid his chaotic life, highlighting the struggles of a creative genius entwined with addiction."
