Allerton is occasionally a reluctant lover, but he gives in easily. When they were even younger, he taught Art how to jerk off.
What else could I want? The whole film pulses with the question of whether Allerton is actually queer or is simply entertaining Lee’s affection.
In fact, the film’s very first line is, You’re not queer. She wants someone who wants.
Patrick, though… Patrick wants. What does it mean to have a body? See how often Patrick steals someone else’s clothes.
A wild and chaotic game of tennis draws Art and Patrick closer together with every volley, stepping forward, forward, forward, until in one climactic swing, Art soars over the net and ends up in Patrick’s arms. We see another man walking right to left, too, but then he crosses paths with Art and they look over their shoulders at one another, both traveling the same direction on screen but moving in opposite ways through their world.
Subtly, this trains an audience that we’re not going to be able to anticipate what the movie is about to throw at us.
But some will. Don’t you know this makes it hotter for me? he teases Art, when he realizes Art’s jealous. So while Pixar denies Luca is a gay story due to its setting and the age of its characters, viewers should read the LGBTQ+ narrative for what it is.

When I was younger, I told a man in Rome that I liked his hands.
Ayahuasca is a mirror, remember, and if it worked as it should, then Allerton should’ve been able to see himself as never before.
Allerton chooses to look away. According to The Playlist, Guadagnino commented that he didn’t view it as a “gay” film, but that it was about the “beauty of the newborn idea of desire, unbiased and uncynical.”
While films are able to explore queer identity among other themes simultaneously, this kind of framing helps to fight any attempts to box films like Queer into a category away from the general film landscape and audience.
Instead, cuddled up together and face-to-face after sex, he asks him, You don’t mind this, do you? When the first trailer and synopsis were released for Luca, many reacted with joy that the movie could be showing the lauded studio's first LGBTQ people in lead roles, exploring coming out for a young audience the way it has explored many other serious topics.
Wong Kar-Wai, director of Happy Together once told Eye Weekly “I don’t like people to see this film as a gay film. But there’s a secondary meaning, too. For so long there had only been longing, and now here I was with someone who knew what that was like.
For example, he said, I like a man’s feet.
I like hands, I said, and he laughed.
