Review: “A Different Man” gives a twisted take on self-acceptance

Few films have defied my expectations quite like “A Different Man”. I walked into the screening anticipating a straightforward thriller that dramatizes the lives and struggles of facially disabled individuals . While the film explores that theme, it also looked me dead in the eye, laughed in my face and left me laughing out loud more than I have in years.
