Audience Member It was just okay. Got boring toward the end. While an interesting concept, the story felt very one dimensional. The main message of the movie was quickly understood and the story dragged. Felt like the movie was so focused on making a point that it neglected adding plot elements. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Meg P A truly thought provoking, shocking, darkly funny and very very watchable film. Excellent performances from all. Sebastian Stan is exceptional. The performance of his career so far, and one which I hope gains award recognition. Adam Pearson shines in a role literally made for him. So good. This film will stay with me for a long time, and I plan to see it again soon. Go and see it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Jithin K From what I'm reading online, everyone except me seems to find this film a comedy, but for me, this felt like horror. This gave me a similar feeling to what I felt after watching Synecdoche New York even though they're very different. Both had the making of a play as a central plot point and both made me feel like I'm watching a psychological horror film. The protagonist Edward may be very different from me but his insecurities about life, the way he hides from the past and acts through the present, only to be shown to him he can't really make it because of who he is, just hits close to home. The way this movie nonchalantly shows how people are perceived due to how each person believes what they are is striking. Be it the person who you expect not to be popular being popular or the person you expect to be kind being not that, maybe even unbeknownst to themselves. It breaks the bubble of how such movies usually show these kinds of situations by making it very unsettling which can be perceived as darkly comical as well I guess. Sebastian Stan is brilliant with his body language conveying all the insecurities. Adam Pearson being the charming positive force of the movie was such a surprise but it's great to see especially when it's Sebastian Stan on the other side. One of the best movies of the year and something I won't revisit anytime soon. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Carlos D A Different Man is just a really great movie, with an important message about feeling good in your own skin. One of the best movies this year. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Dmitriy A good movie, recommended Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Evan C Sebastian Stan is the standout of #ADifferentMan, in an complex role as a man with a deformity who is transformed but haunted by a better version of his past self. The film for me leans more unsettling than darkly funny, but the performance makes it worth it. Body horror warning!
