A Different Man | MAX

This smart tale, starring Sebastian Stan as an actor with a disfigured face, gets under your skin

- Tom Gliatto

COMEDY-DRAMA Edward (The Apprentice's Sebastian Stan) moves through Manhattan with the gingerly caution of a hermit crab forced out of its shell. You almost wish he had access to the sorts of devices any Marvel superhero could sign out of the supply closet-a helmet to render you invisible, a vibranium shield. Edward, you see, has a condition called neurofibromatosis, which has caused disfiguring tumors to engulf his face. He wants to be an actor, but his most recent gig was for an instructional film on how to make "different" employees feel accepted. He, of course, was Mr. Different.
