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

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.

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.

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

The best thriller I've seen all year.

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

It's good, nasty fun until it gets boxed in by its own contrivances toward the end.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 26, 2009

You can see this Danish offering as a sardonic update of familiar noir material, or simply as the story of the midlife crisis of a guy who wishes -- or dreams, or dreads -- that he's living out a grand drama. There are pleasures to be had either way.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 20, 2009

[Bornedal] steers his mistaken-identity story in a more generic direction.

| Feb 20, 2009

The final act, where secrets become revealed and the plot twists in on itself once more is ingeniously clever.

| Feb 20, 2009

I suspect anyone who went for last year's foreign-language pulp fiction of choice, Tell No One, will be rewarded by Ole Bornedal's latest.

It's interesting that two of the best thrillers of the last several months, Tell No One and Just Another Love Story, have come from Europe.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 19, 2009

A creative mix of horror, noir and psychological thriller. At times the story defies logic, but viewers who can accept that will find themselves caught up in the film's intensity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 9, 2009

Just Another Love Story is enjoyably moody in the early going, and it develops into a decent Hitchcockian thriller at times.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jan 9, 2009

As Just Another Love Story zigzags between austere realism (the scenes of Jonas and his family) and surreal gore, you have the not unpleasant sense of being taken for a ride.
