What the critics say average 7.2 from 5
- 10 The A.V. ClubDrew Gillis
A Different Man prioritizes laughs over proselytizing. There is inherent humor in the absurdity of the situation?which takes a momentary detour near sci-fi territory during Edward's transformation?but Schimberg wrings laughs out of deftly staged awkwardness (though, thankfully, not cringe).

Schimberg's exploration of identity and representation has the best of intentions, but the more audacious aspects of A Different Man often overwhelm the interesting themes at the center of the film.

A Different Man is a slog, made worse by the fact that it seems to mistake darkness for insight.
