This week, we review A DIFFERENT MAN (2024, 112 minutes) Directed by Aaron Schimberg.  Playing at The Beverly, November 22-30. For tickets and info: The Beverly Theater

Aspiring actor Edward undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. But his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare, as he loses out on the role he was born to play and becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost. Writer-director Aaron Schimberg's latest film is a surreal, singular tale of one man's desire to self-actualize. Starring Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Adam Pearson (Under the Skin, Chained for Life) and Renate Reinsve (Oslo August 31, The Worst Person in the World).
