Justin Chang New Yorker A conceptually bold, mordantly funny cautionary tale... Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News Thios head-twisting, heart-piercing psychological thriller stars a never-better Sebastian Stan as a facially disfigured actor who has an operation to remove his scars and finds he can't hide the gloomy, self-loathing introvert that lingers in his DNA. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Drew Gillis AV Club A Different Man is at home in an emerging trend of dark, surrealist works. Rated: A Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Joshua Bogatin In Review Online Luckily, any quibbles with the film are minor... because what’s at the heart of the film isn’t really its identity politics, but a Kafkaesque sense of paranoia. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies This is a very good, if admittedly twisted, gag, to be sure, but in the hands of writer/director Aaron Schimberg, it's also a pointed and thoughtful one... Rated: 3/4 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar A Different Man is surreal and weird, yet also strangely compelling. Rated: 3/4 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
