    A Different Man

    ★★★★

    It is a funny and dark movie that cleverly explores identity, obsession, and the desire for reinvention.

    What a shocker!

    Just like Triangle of Sadness, it's a movie against the system. A slow burn with lots of surprises blended few jump scares. Things get really excited as Ralph Fieness reveals the final course.


    "If you watch it on a big screen with 7.1 surround you will become a part of this once in lifetime dinning experience."
