A Different Man 15

★★★★ – Flickering Myth

★★★★ – Eye for Film

Aspiring actor Edward (Sebastian Stan) undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance, but his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare as he loses out on the role he was born to play.

Obsessed with reclaiming what was lost, Edward becomes fixated on Oswald (Pearson, Under the Skin), an actor in a stage production based on Edward’s former life.

A festival hit with particular acclaim for Pearson’s performance, Aaron Schimberg’s film is a darkly funny New York noir.
