A Different Man

This was truly a treat to watch.

It is deeply insightful and is packed with meanings, it confuses you for half the movie until the direction it’s going at clears up.

Sebastian Stan who I greatly appreciate has showed me his talent is vastly superior with this one.

Pearson is truly magical and knows how to work around his condition to act with it.

Lastly, cinematography was simple but well made with some interesting shots and stunning colors.

Please try to read into it, this is way more than what it shows in the surface and once you figure out everything in it, you fall in love with it.

8.8 - I don’t know that I really loved this, but the way it’s lingering with me can’t be discounted.

It is getting a lot of comparisons topically to The Substance, & while I had a lot of fun with The Substance, it didn’t pack the punch message wise that this has. The script is one of the smartest of the year. It’s grounded, darkly funny, & shockingly relatable. What lengths will one go to not feel other. What lies will we tell ourselves to cover insecurity. Sebastian Stan & Adam Pearson’s co-acting is some of the best of 2024. It takes a hard turn near the end that I don’t fully like or agree with, but this execution of asking the questions & not giving the answers (if there are any?) is powerful.

I’m a bit depressed, but it was worth it.

such a harrowing and unique watch. i enjoyed the awkward, powerful central performances and had no idea how the existential narrative would play out. i don’t see the humor, but i understand the meaningful message and deep sadness. adam pearson is phenomenal

i really really liked how this movie was shot omgosh. everyone should watch this plsss.

Really different and innovative movie with really good cinematography and intense drama

Very depressing, good film and very well paced, but very sad and definitely has a very deep meaning that flies right over a lot of people's heads. Also, you get to see Sebastian Stan's junk so that is definitely a bonus!
