Luca Guadanino's "Queer" is comprised of two chapters I adored, one I thought was disappointing, and an epilogue that left me entirely unimpressed. The first two are good stuff; a prickly romance exploring desire, alienation, addiction, and 20th-century decay. But the third is an oddity as disconnected from the others as Daniel Craig's character is from everyone around him, and the ending is a little too surreal and artsy for my liking. Still, it's for the most part compelling, beautifully shot, and Craig gives it his all in what is now one of his new best.
