A Different Man is a bold and surreal exploration of identity, perception, and society's obsession with appearances. With its gritty, 1970s-inspired visuals and dreamlike, almost uncanny atmosphere, the film feels both unsettling and thought-provoking. Sebastian Stan delivers a compelling performance, particularly during Edward's transformation. A Different Man leaves a lasting impression with its layered narrative and poignant commentary on self-acceptance, even if its message doesn’t always land as clearly as intended.

A Different Man is genuinely hard to review. The film is shot in a way that feels like something out of older times, with muted colors and an almost grainy look. The camera will suddenly zoom into a frame with the music swelling for dramatic effect. Even though the plot isn't remotely similar, in so More

"Edward" (Sebastian Stan) is a facially disfigured man, stuck in a rundown apartment, whose life isn't really going anywhere fast. Then he gets a new neighbour. "Ingrid" (Renato Reinsve) is a writer who befriends him and promises him a part in her play. Meantime, his doctors manage to get him on a r More

_A Different Man_ delights with a delicious paradox: take a character who feels outcast because of his looks, and then – _voila_. Melt away his differences. _Would he suddenly fit in? Would his life instantly turn around? Or is “success” far more than skin deep?_
