After the reveal of who was who, I was still having an incredibly tough time seeing John as, well, you know...

You'd feel cocky too if you were full of myself.

Same here. Also DiCaprio (though of course he wouldn't do this film)

but uncanny resemblance

I was seeing Jodie Foster!

Yes, for me it was a toss-up between Jodie Foster and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Have to say Sarah Snook was brilliant! Big career ahead, I think.

same here !

I thought exactly the same! Sarah Snook was intriguing, but (out of all the enormous suspensions of disbelief the movie requires!) IMHO, she never passed as a man for a moment, and this ruined a couple of early reveals. I would have loved to see DeHaan act as a convincing woman.

I'm not clear on why a lot of people on these boards are commenting on her not looking like a passable man... her character specifically wasn't supposed to look like a normal male. That was spelled out in the movie.

She portrayed a gender-ambiguous individual in the bar scenes, as she was supposed to.

I don't know that guy, but yes he looks very close. I was seeing some Jodie Foster (but knew the age was wrong), and in retrospect, maybe Leo. But if it was Leo, it would have been a bigger deal of a movie.
And he really hasn't looked much like that since his babyface days of Quick and the Dead.

I didn't think John was Dane, but I did think Jane was Jane Levy at first.

John looked like Edward Furlong to me
