Stan plays an actor who reinvents himself in search of a new life.
Talk about coming at you with both barrels. As the head-twisting, heart-piercing "A Different Man" hits theaters after a glorious debut at, audiences won't know what hit them or where to look first. My advice? Start with the two main actors.
Oswald, though, rightly considers himself a natural. And his personality charms everyone, way more than Edward/Guy, who has to hide behind a prosthetic mask to resemble his old self. What Edward can't hide is the gloomy, self-loathing introvert that lingers in his DNA.Review: 'Strange Darling' is a cinematic punch in the gut that'll keep you guessing
See what writer-director director Aaron Schimberg is doing here? He's aiming satirical darts at perception and reality. He's also creating a teasing, dark comedy about how appearances screw all of us up, whether we see ourselves as a looker or a troll.There's also the timely question of cultural appropriation, which Ingrid blithely ignores to tell a personal story that is definitely not her own.
Schimberg juggles more ideas than he can comfortably fit into a single two-hour film. But his ambition and talent are worth celebrating, and his skill with actors commands attention.Schimberg worked with Pearson in his most recent film, the probing "Chained for Life," and the British actor is even better this time as a man who won't let appearance define him. Pearson brings a captivating spirit and lightness of touch to the role that draws everyone in.
And Stan is just tremendous, giving an award-caliber performance as two sides of his character's personality go to war with each other for control. No spoilers, except to say that "A Different Man" is that rare kind of movie: a psychological thriller that can lift you up with laughter and crush you flat with tears. It's truly something else.
