60 of 214 · most liked firstJust going by titles, I honestly can't be bothered to remember the difference between A Complete Unknown, A Different Man and Better Man and it's probably funnier if I never enlighten myself. Movie titles are falling into the generic studio era blandness "Love Me Tonight/Tomorrow/Now"
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm sorry to see the Academy overlook my friend Adam Pearson's incredibly charming performance as a confident-yet-likeable jerk in A DIFFERENT MAN, but I am so proud of all he has achieved with this fantastic film and I cannot wait to see what he does next.
positive · AI labelView post →I know the argument is "Some years it'll be all men, other years it might be all women--it'll balance out." But what if I told you there's a way to honor both men and women every year?! OK, enough grumbling. Congrats to the wonderful movie A Different Man, the Gothams' surprising Best Film winner!
neutral · AI labelView post →A Different Man might be the best film of anything nominated tonight and I am BEYOND thrilled to see Sebastian Stan get what he deserves for it!
positive · AI labelView post →I can't stop thinking about the trailer for the new Marvel movie referring to Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus respectively as the stars of Midsommar, A Different Man, and You Hurt My Feelings, like they're just some hot indie stars and not recurring Marvel actors.

This is because cats of blue sky are under-represented in terms of film criticism. Take A Different Man. A hard no from me. Why can't we see films about chasing bottle-tops?
negative · AI labelView post →‘A DIFFERENT MAN’ actors, Adam Pearson and Sebastian Stan at the Nominees' Party for the EE BAFTA Film Awards. 📷
neutral · AI labelView post →A Different Man: I loved The Substance, but this is the essential self-hatred text of 2024. Effortlessly smart, a movie with a million layers underneath a cruel, nasty joke of getting exactly what you want. Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson are unbelievable.
positive · AI labelView post →I guess my favorite movie this year was A DIFFERENT MAN? I guess? bum year
neutral · AI labelView post →A Different Man, excellent film, on Max Jan 17 fyi ijs
positive · AI labelView post →Watched A DIFFERENT MAN last night, and new Oscar gripe is that Sebastian Stan got nominated for the wrong movie
positive · AI labelView post →Doesn’t have to be a sexy movie either. A DIFFERENT MAN has dick in it and that’s how I knew it was a Film
positive · AI labelView post →He could’ve talked “A Different Man”, he was great in that movie too!
neutral · AI labelView post →The first blog post of 2025 is a meditation on the weird confluence that gave us three 2024 movies - The Substance, Emilia Perez, A Different Man - all riffing on the idea that transformation is bad, impossible, and bound to ruin your life. wrongquestions.blogspot.com/2025/01/agai...
neutral · AI labelView post →im still thinking about A DIFFERENT MAN. That movie was so funny
positive · AI labelView post →Continuing to catch up with the year's movies and finally saw A DIFFERENT MAN, which I adored. But it's precisely the kind of fascinating movie where I want to hear and absorb everyone else's thoughts, especially if they're closer to the subject material. www.patreon.com/posts/121754...
positive · AI labelView post →i watched A Different Man last night. it is a terrific film. really don’t have much to say about it beyond that. a terrific film that you should watch.
positive · AI labelView post →After the screening of A DIFFERENT MAN, Adam Pearson said during the Q&A that he gets imposter syndrome on every movie, but he's come to believe that only imposters don't suffer from it, and the imposter syndrome is how you know you're where you need to be. I'm hanging onto that one.

neutral · AI labelView post →A Different Man is truly something special, Sebastian Stan gives a career best performance. Adam Pearson is unbelievable, what a touching and powerful performance what really sold this film for me was when Pearson sings I Wanna Get Next To You Pearson should be nominated
positive · AI labelView post →There’s still six weeks left, and it’s likely my 2024 best film performances list will change, but one performance has stuck with me since April and isn’t going anywhere: Sebastian Stan in A Different Man. Here’s a sneak peek of my year-end take on his brilliant work.
positive · AI labelView post →A DIFFERENT MAN: Sebastian Stan is rightly getting praise for his performance here, but this is Adam Pearson’s film as soon as he bursts onto the screen. He makes it an electrifying experience you can & should see when it opens Fri. at The Grand Cinema 📽️ My review: www.inlander.com/screen/a-dif...

neutral · AI labelView post →A Different Man…what a strange, darkly funny, extraordinary journey of a film, with performances from Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson that grip you right from the start and never let go. Loved it.
positive · AI labelView post →A DIFFERENT MAN was just added to Crave in Canada (and Max down below). It's great, and @amuredda.bsky.social's review is a vital, essential piece of writing on it. filmfreakcentral.net/2024/10/a-di...

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched “A Different Man” and I’m GOBSMACKED that Adam Pearson hasn’t been getting supporting actor noms??? His whole vibe in the movie is a tornado of charisma that flys in, steals the show, and flys out leaving you wanting him to come back.

neutral · AI labelView post →Look at a great movie like A Different Man, one that is now getting solid awards attention, which quickly expanded here in suburban CT and immediately died. I was the sole person in my screening, anyone I hyped it to locally had no idea what I was talking about. Things need time to cut through.

neutral · AI labelView post →Glad I watched A Different Man this morning. Wasn't expecting it to win anything. I've liked Sebastian Stan for awhile now, so I'm happy for his win. He's very good in the film, though the revelation is Adam Pearson--especially as the character of Oswald--who I knew strictly from Under the Skin.
positive · AI labelView post →A delight as always to contribute to The Film Stage’s feature on the best movies of the year. This year I wrote about my beloved Challengers and A Different Man.
positive · AI labelView post →A DIFFERENT MAN, which just won Best Feature at the Gothams, is the movie I find myself recommending most to people when they ask what they need to see. It's a stunner. www.slantmagazine.com/film/a-diffe...
positive · AI labelView post →I watched "A Different Man" tonight and it was awesome. Highly recommend - Sebastian Stan was amazing in it. It's like a jr Synecdoche, New York movie. I'm gonna be thinking about it for a while
positive · AI labelView post →Handy tip for anyone talking Oscar snubs today: A BETTER MAN is a different movie from A DIFFERENT MAN, but A DIFFERENT MAN is a better movie than A BETTER MAN.
positive · AI labelView post →I know there are much bigger issues in the world right now but I need to share that I just watched A Different Man and wow, that is a movie that did not need to be made. I don't appreciate the use of disability as metaphor for the fact that some people are just "ugly" on the inside.

neutral · AI labelView post →5. A DIFFERENT MAN (Aaron Schimberg): Sebastian Stan maybe getting an Oscar nomination for playing Trump in the same year he gives his best performance in this sharply smart, deeply funny, deceptively high production value movie feels like the year’s last cruel joke. (Prove me wrong, Academy!)
positive · AI labelView post →Did some big guffaws at A Different Man, a very funny little nightmare of a movie. Sebastian Stan is perfectly pathetic-handsome
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching A Different Man on #HBOMax …. To kick off this weekend, I’m watching this movie to celebrate Renate’s first film made in Hollywood. #Filmsky #Moviesky #Horrorsky #June
neutral · AI labelView post →Man, I should watch A Different Man again. That movie ruined my life, but it's amazing and I love it, it's so funny, and with the looksmaxxing stuff in the news, I think it's also very relevant. I suggest you, my friends, should watch A Different Man (2024), starring Sebastian Stan.
positive · AI labelView post →26. A DIFFERENT MAN (Aaron Schimberg) A great, difficult, sometimes riotous film about vanity, insecurity and social envy, shocking with raw, splintery details rather than big, showy stunts. @justincchang.bsky.social thoughtfully pairs it with a film not on my list: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched A Different Man and I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this movie. It’s basically if Synecdoche, New York was also a reverse body horror film. exactly my shit
positive · AI labelView post →Now seated for A Different Man #Filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Been trying to watch the last of the Oscar nominees that I haven't seen yet, and I just watched A Different Man. REALLY liked it. Dark, funny, and thought-provoking, and the ending is way different than I expected but really sort of brilliant in a lot of subtle ways...
positive · AI labelView post →Oscars Watchathon continued: A Different Man is yet another deeply unsettling A24 film. Sebastian Stan was fantastic & should've been nominated imo. The film nails the notion of cosmic irony & delivers a powerful message, but some of the narrative choices took me out of it. Still, a very good film.
neutral · AI labelView post →‘…there’s an obvious reason why Academy voters would want to spotlight The Apprentice, but the bottom line is that for a bit-part MCU player, A Different Man sees Sebastian Stan graduate to the very top rank of actors, with a wonderful assist from Adam Pearson….’ film-authority.com/2025/01/24/a...
neutral · AI labelView post →I just feel too off after my labs, so I took a sick day. Lots of big complicated medical feelings lately. I rented A Different Man and I couldn’t have picked a better day to watch this masterpiece, what a perfect film

neutral · AI labelView post →This week so far I’ve watched “A Short Film About Love” by Krzysztof Kieślowski, “I Saw the TV Glow” by Jane Schoenbrun, “A Different Man” by Aaron Schimberg, and “Captain America: Brave New World” by some committee of faceless automatons. Guess which is the only one I didn’t thoroughly enjoy.
positive · AI labelView post →Saving this to read later. I’ll be making a video review of A Different Man, but I highly recommend watching it because it is a LAYERED, complex movie about disability, self-image, and representation www.vulture.com/article/adam...
neutral · AI labelView post →A Different Man is the best movie abt disability I’ve seen in a long long time I wish it was getting more attention just so cutting and funny and deeply sharp film
