As well as Daniel’s leading performance, the film also features appearances from Netflix star Drew Starkey, Grammy-winning singer Omar Apollo and Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville.
It marks Luca Guadagnino’s second film of 2024, after the Call Me By Your Name director previously won huge praise for his recent hit Challengers.
Daniel previously told The Guardian of shooting the film’s more daring moments: “There’s nothing intimate about filming a sex scene on a movie set.
“We just wanted to make it as touching and as real and as natural as we possibly could. Drew is a wonderful, fantastic, beautiful actor to work with and we kind of had a laugh. We tried to make it fun.”
“If I wasn’t in this movie and I saw this movie, I’d want to be in it,” he later added. “It’s the kind of film I want to see, I want to make, I want to be out there.”
Queer is due to hit UK cinemas on Friday 13 December.
