    A Different Man

    ★★★½

    It was interesting in the way I thought it would be but far darker. It takes a little bit for the movie to get started. Once it does start moving it felt as though I was along for a wild ride. It has the energy of a bad trip. Great performance by Sebastian Stan.

    The beautiful thing about Christopher Nolan movies is the one you most recently rewatched tends to be your favorite. Space often can be seen as a frightening, dark, and cold place. In this story humanity has no choice but to look toward it for salvation as Earth is becoming equally uninhabitable. A journey that could be terrifying instead takes on deeper meaning and wonder thanks to Nolan’s masterful execution of the script and incredible performances. This is all woven together…

    Had no expectations going into this movie, I hadn’t even seen a trailer until 20 minutes before. I ended up really enjoying it. Definitely kind of odd but overall was pretty good. The first half of the movie was awesome. Second part drags on a bit too much and leans more into the strange. Still not sure what I think about Lily Rose Depp’s acting, but this was a big improvement from the two episodes of The Idol I watched.

    This film was an interesting way to view the life of Napoleon. Using his relationship with Josephine to provide perspective was a thoughtful and in my opinion unique way to tell this story. Ambitious film, fell short in many ways but is certainly worth the watch. I look forward to reading the source material at some point.
