Best Streaming Platforms to Watch Queer Content

Daniel Craig recently delivered an acclaimed performance in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, which has earned a nomination for the Golden Globe. This romantic drama was released for streaming just months after Guadagnino’s earlier 2024 success with Challengers. Set in the 1950s, Queer features Craig as William Lee, who embarks on a poignant love story with Eugene Allerton, portrayed by Drew Starkey, a former Navy member. The film intricately intertwines their romantic journey with the historical context surrounding their LGBTQ+ identities, receiving considerable praise for its sensitive portrayal of both elements.

Despite being independently produced, Queer generated significant buzz following its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, which ultimately led to A24 acquiring the rights and facilitating its theatrical release in 2024. While many anticipated a Best Actor nomination for Craig at the Academy Awards, it eluded him. Regardless, the film’s grounded narrative has captured the interest of viewers eager to enjoy it from home, and it is now available for streaming.

Queer Is Now Streaming on Max

Streaming on HBO’s Platform as of March 2025

Thanks to an existing partnership between A24 and Warner Bros, Queer became available for streaming on Max starting March 28, 2025. Following its theatrical release in November 2024, the anticipation for home viewing surged, particularly due to its limited release, which left several fans of Craig and Guadagnino eager for access to the film.

To stream Queer, viewers will need a subscription to Max or the Amazon Prime Video add-on for titles available on Max, both priced at $9.99 per month.
