Magenitic performance from Evan Peters, who really kills it.
Overall though, I think the shots were boring, the music was whack (and NEVER stopped), and the tone-shift turns what had seemed a charismatic and inventive flick into a very stale ""commentary"" on... Privileged White Male America I guess?
Kinda sucked for me.

Stellar work by everyone - especially liked Abott here. Really liked Keoghan as well, although it's probably time we stop pretending he's still 17 years old.Translated from by

Queer 2024
Een opeenvolging van verward en soms pretentieus symbolisme weerhoudt de film er van om samen te komen als de tedere tragedie die er in zit.

Ik vond het niet altijd succesvol maar denk wel dat deze onsamenhangende, sexy avonturenfilm recht doet aan de geest van Burroughs
