Aaron Schimberg’s darkly comic feature from indie powerhouse A24 sees a man with facial tumours make a Faustian pact to change his appearance, only to discover good looks can’t buy happiness.In a cast boasting festival favourite Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World, 2021; Armand, NZIFF 2024) and Marvel man Sebastian Stan, it’s Adam Pearson (himself born with neurofibromatosis) as Oswald who steals the show in a third act cameo.
Deliciously discomforting and full of awkward provocations, director Schimberg never shies away from holding a mirror to our own internal prejudices in this deeply twisted, nightmarish satire. - Matt Bloomfield
"[A] delirious and extraordinary mindfuck of a movie." - INDIEWIRE
"Aaron Schimberg's A Different Man throws away the kid gloves to unpack the complicated ways in which contemporary society responds to disability." - SLANT
COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm
