A version of this story about Dan Stevens and “I’m Your Man” first appeared in the International Issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Dan Stevens might be too good-looking. At least, that’s what German director Maria Schrader was hoping when she cast Stevens’ chiseled features and piercing blue eyes in “I’m Your Man,” a romantic comedy of sorts that deals with the relationship between a cynical career woman (Maren Eggert) and an android who’s been programmed to be her perfect man.
His performance — which is delivered, by the way, entirely in German — takes the charm that was so evident in “Downton Abbey” and the post-transformation scenes in “Beauty and the Beast” and throws in just enough tics to let us see the algorithm beneath the flawless smile.
