A Different Man – 6.5

It was worth spending time with Renate Reinsve, but the film itself was no more than an O.Henry short story. Curiously, Sebastian Stan was nominated for a Golden Globe for this performance, which I found inauthentic, as opposed to his Oscar-nominated role in The Apprentice, which I considered brilliant. This passed the time on a trans-Pacific flight, whereas I couldn’t stand more than ten minutes of either Fall Guy, in which Ryan Gosling is insufferable as the main character in a film despite being only a stunt man, or We Live In Time, which to the extent I could follow it seemed insipid. I did manage to watch a relatively painless movie from start to finish en route home, but for the life of me I can’t remember now what it was.
