How to watch Daniel Craig's Queer at home? Streaming details of the Golden Globe-nominated A24 film explored

Great news for all you Daniel Craig fans out there as you can now catch his performance in Luca Guadagnino's Queer from the cozy confines of your living room. This LGBTQ+ drama, based on William S. Burroughs' 1985 story, got a lot of love when it hit theaters in November.

As of January 14, the folks at A24 have made it easy for you to watch Queer through digital platforms like Prime Video and iTunes. If you're in the U.S., watch it whenever you want, without having to leave the house. And if you like to watch movies on the big screen, don't worry – it's still playing in some theaters.

But for those of you across the pond in the UK, sorry to say, hang tight a bit longer. They haven't given us a date yet for when it'll be out. However, once it does make its grand entrance, you'll likely find it on the streaming service Mubi. And for those eager beavers, you can pre-order the DVD, Blu-ray, or Prime Video.

Plus, Daniel's acting earned him a spot in the Golden Globe nominees' circle.

The plot and themes of Daniel Craig's Queer

This movie, Queer, takes us back to the 1950s in Mexico City and tells the story of William Lee, played by Daniel Craig. Lee is in a bad place because of his drinking and drug problems, so he runs away to Mexico after some trouble back home in the U.S. It's a plunge into his emotions as he tries to deal with feeling all alone and desperate for something real.

The thing that keeps his eyes on the prize is this other guy, Eugene Allerton, played by Drew Starkey. Allerton used to be in the Navy and like a shining light for Lee, but at the same time, he shows all of what Lee's hiding. The director, Luca Guadagnino, does an amazing job taking a book by Burroughs and turning it into a movie about love, getting your heart broken, and finding out who you are.

This role is a huge change for Daniel Craig from his James Bond days. He gets a ton of praise for playing Lee because he shows us all the things going on inside the guy without taking over the whole story of Queer.

When he talked to Variety, Craig shared about playing this character:

“The movie’s not defined by [sexuality]. It is the emotional journey of these people.”

Guadagnino's style brings out a movie everyone can relate to, going beyond the usual tags and cliches.

Behind-the-scenes fun facts about Queer

Queer first wowed people at the Venice Film Festival, then went on to grab attention at other big-deal film gatherings. The movie's up-close and personal moments between the guys, especially Craig, Starkey, and Omar Apollo, also a musician, got everyone talking about how far artists can go to be real.

Starkey spilled that he used a fake you-know-what for the scenes where he's all naked, which made it seem even more believable. Apollo, though, played it cool and didn't say much, which just made everyone more curious.

When it came to baring it all, Craig took a different route. He said no to full-on nudity, but he did it with a laugh, pointing out his co-stars and saying,

“They’re young. They’re young and beautiful,”

The actor's choice fits with his aim to get to the heart of Queer's feelings, not just the physical parts of it.

Guadagnino's work as the director is special. He's put together some beautiful camera work with a story that grabs you. The way the movie looks at how people lived and felt in the middle of the last century, and how they tried to be free, is something that hits home today.
