Just Another Love Story is anything but. Instead, it is a thrilling, nightmarish vision of the devastating power of a mid-life crisis left unchecked.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2019

The film's emotional power comes from its double investigation of love and identity, falseness and authenticity.

| Sep 27, 2017

It's done with some style, Bornedal telling much of the story in nifty montages set to insistent music, but I couldn't get into the spirit of it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 28, 2009

This engrossing Danish thriller is like the 1995 Sandra Bullock vehicle While You Were Sleeping merged with Festen and turned into a film noir.

| Jul 28, 2009

You are swept along by the confidence of the storytelling even as you accept it might not hold up to close scrutiny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 28, 2009

High concept thriller which fails to captivate due to unsympathetic characters.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2009

Ambitious cross-cutting and occasional bursts of strident music hint at psychologically complex parallels and readings that the film fails to deliver.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

The film's best hope is black comedy - it's certainly impossible to take seriously - and yet crazy amounts of it are socked over as bombastic, overedited melodrama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2009

A fast, furious and fun homage to film noir with heart to spare.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 24, 2009

Cracking along at a fast pace with a plot full of twists and turns, it's a first-rate thriller and one bound to get the Hollywood remake treatment very soon.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2009

It's melodrama, and sometimes absurdist. But there's a sense of humour too and while it trips over itself in the effort to be original, it is an impressive piece of film-making all the same.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

Bornedal's movie is slick and arresting, and proves again to Hollywood that mature genre film-making is thriving on this side of the Atlantic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

A game but chaotic attempt at neo-noir, ferociously acted and directed.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2009

A well paced, though hardly credible, piece of noir.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

Nimbly weaving between mid-life crisis melodrama, noir, comedy, horror, this is Lars von Trier meets Michael Haneke and, in a good way, one of the year's most uncomfortable watches.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2009

The grim result might stretch credibility, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

It's a Hitchcock-style thriller involving mistaken identity, mid-life crisis and adulterous romance. It gets very far-fetched towards the end, but it's enjoyably suspenseful and extremely well acted.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

Just Another Love Story, directed by Ole Bornedal, has a style like play-school Ingmar Bergman.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2009

The lure of a new life kickstarts this gripping Danish noir-romance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009

A cracking, suspenseful watch that has a well-turned knack for the tragic-comic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2009
