    A Different Man

    ★★★★

    This is the first movie where I ‘got’ Renate Reinsve. Did not understand the hype before but she’s perfect here as a self-absorbed and self-important person who lies casually and thinks she’s smarter than she is. She’s a
    perfect fit for the character’s mix of pretty privilege and intellectual pretension. A deeply disturbing movie that brought me back to the insecurities of youth that reverberate through adulthood…what does everyone think of me and why aren’t I good enough and how can I change my body.

    I didn’t expect much but should’ve expected so much less. Had no idea it would be like the worst possible version of a eurotrash tv commercial from 2007 complete with weird outdated French gender identity shit. Big bummer for Qualley.

    Probably my fave newer Soderbergh and definitely the best movie made about the pandemic yet. A Hollywood thriller with soderberghian specificity and intelligence that teases out suspense and pleasure.

    Michelle acting tired and over it, let down by everyone in her life. Can relate. More like ‘FED Up!’
