Based on the unfinished novel by Naked Lunch author William S. Burroughs, Queer tells the tale of Lee (Daniel Craig), an American expatriate who putters about Mexico looking to get laid. He becomes infatuated by a much younger man and begins a lopsided, emotionally distant arrangement. As deeply uncomfortable as the material is, the fun comes in the final third of the film via hallucinatory imagery brought on by an ayahuasca trip. Kind of makes me wish I could have fast-forwarded past the first 90 minutes to get there quicker.
