Stan the Man

I have finally reviewed my favorite movie out of Sundance -- click on over to Pajiba to read my thoughts on A Different Man, the new movie from Chained For Life director Aaron Schimberg that stars Sebastian Stan giving what I decree his best performance to date, opposite The Worst Person in the World's Renate Reinsve and Under the Skin's Adam Pearson. Or don't? I kind of think it might be a movie worth knowing as little about as possible going in -- I did and I felt rewarded by that and my review had to, out of necessity to discuss the plot, spoil some of its surprises. The movie is already owned by A24 so it will definitely have a release this year at some point so if you can hold out, hold out. If you need convincing, go forth. I will say that you should very much go see Schimberg's previous phenomonal movie Chained For Life if you haven't -- here is my review of that -- because it will give you some idea of what Schimberg likes to deal with. A Different Man feels like a continuation on the same themes.
