A Different Man

A Different Man follows Edward (played by Sebastian Stan), an aspiring playwright/actor with a facial disfigurement, who gets offered the chance to "be like everyone else." Tired of being stared at by strangers and being down on his luck with job opportunities, Edward decides to embrace a new lease of life that he has been gifted. But will he come to regret his decision? Let me start by saying Sebastian Stan is phenomenal in this movie. Not only does he exemplify the pain and loneliness his character is feeling, but his range is off the charts. The use of prosthetics for Stan's character is flawless. It wasn't until around the fifteen minute mark where I realised that it was Sebastian Stan. A Different Man is definitely a dark comedy as it has some excellent humourous scenes throughout. This doesn't take away the movies dramatic edge at all and only elevates them. A supporting cast featuring Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson deserve just as much praise as Stan. Reinsve is gorgeously conflicting to watch as a character study as you're constantly guessing what her true intentions are throughout the movie. Pearson is charismatic, charming and undeniably stellar as a fellow facially disfigured actor whose winning personality makes him the life of the party. Something Edward never was. This won't be a movie for everyone. However, it deserves a watch with an open heart and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did. 8/10

This is a terribly weird and boring movie. Its 2 hours of my life... i wish I can have back

A hypnotic and calming smooth ride from start to finish that will leave you with few words but not necessarily any form of excitement or buzz

Started off well but once Adam Pearson arrived I just had to switch it off, so overacted and exaggerated acting it ruined the film so I’ve had to google the ending

Adam Pearson’s appearance as Oswald is the best thing about this.

This movie was confusing? And it didn’t make much sense? So the guy goes and has a procedure that makes him attractive, I guess “and then meets a guy that he used to look like I mean come on,.

loved this one and how cute it was that he was able to end up with the women

Dark comedy that was completely absurd and unbelievable. Ultimately it's a boring message movie about how it's what's on the inside that matters. But in the end, the protagonist learns nothing about himself. Multiple times I had to get up and walk off because of how terribly written the characters, situations and dialog were. Positives were all the actors, who did an admirable job bringing the cringe script to life, and the realistic depiction of a decaying New York City.

Not only did this deserved better and should've been talked about more but should've been nominated for oscar. Yes, his controversial depiction of Trump was astonishing and deserved to rightfully be praised but his ability to become this scornful man who ends up killing himself to become someone he thought was better physically, or so he thought. Was arguably underrated and hidden away to even be considered for Variety and The Academy. In the end, Sebastian could have broken the Marvel Oscar curse with his performance in ‘A Different Man’.

This movie just irked me, due to its air of pomposity. I didn't like, nor care, about a single person in this entire movie. These are the people that people from other parts of the country don't like NY because of. Waste of time. Neither funny, interesting, nor thought provoking.
