A Different Man (2024)

An aspiring actor undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance, but his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare.
I thought this was fantastic, one of the wittiest films I saw last year. It makes a nice "theme of the double" pairing with The Substance.

I liked this. A lot of dark laughs, usually involving Sebastian Stan's face as another shitty little development unfolds before his eyes. But there's more obvious funny things like the ice cream truck vs ambulance meeting, or the knife fight. The clumsy zoom-ins.
I like how the building's super (?) says Edward is like a Woody Allen character, and then later playing the part of Edward he says some very Woody Allen things in a monologue that Ingrid has concocted. ("If I had any friends, and if they were reliable.")
