This Month’s Highlight
A Different Man
The winner of Best Feature at the Gothams, A Different Man is making its streaming debut this month. A24 has had a lot of movies on its plate this year, but that shouldn’t mean that director Aaron Schimberg dramedy should fall by the wayside. Sebastian Stan is fantastically miserable as a man with neurofibromatosis who undergoes a miracle surgery that cures him. Yet he still finds himself feeling quite uncomfortable in his own skin, which is only exacerbated when he crosses paths with Oswald (played by Adam Pearson), a real charmer who also has neurofibromatosis. (Streaming January 17.)
