‘A Different Man’ is one of two 2024 movies Stan is receiving awards buzz for.
The transition from Edward to Guy is a lot to ask of both the audience and an actor.

A man undergoes reconstructive surgery to escape his troubled past and takes on a new identity. As he becomes involved in a stage production inspired by his own life, he confronts his former self and grapples with the blurred lines between reality and performance.
His interiority becomes even more impressive as it comes into conflict later in the film.
