A Different Man had been on my radar ever since it was first announced. I had an already become a fan of Adam Pearson after his breakout role in Under the Skin, and I was excited to see him in another A24 film. Needless to say, this film did not disappoint. The best way I can describe the film overall without spoiling it that it's very similar to Cronenberg's Dead Ringers. The more I give it thought, in fact, the film overall felt like a Cronenberg creation. Not strictly due to the body horror aspects (though it helped), but mainly the psychological deconstruction of the mind/body dynamic and our own relationships with our selves, both internally and externally. A different man is nothing short of an astonishing experience. Every minute of it pained me but I couldn't look away.
