Really surprised how funny this was. Had our audience cracking up throughout. I was taken aback when I saw Renate Reinsve on screen, didn’t realize she was in this but was enamored with her all over again. Sebastian Stan is excellent in the lead and the story takes ironic turn, after ironic turn, after ironic turn. An exploration of inner beauty vs outer beauty, identity and transformation, but almost in the opposite direction than we typically experience it, as in something like The Substance. Really fun watch.
