Consensus: An intense foreign language noir, Just Another Love Story uses some generic methods to tell its tale of mistaken identity but is sharply entertaining nonetheless.
Synopsis: If the first order of business for any self-respecting film noir is a dead body with a story to tell, Ole Bornedal is quick to oblige. But rest assured that this twisted, visually energized genre... [More]

 2/5 |
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. Full Review |

 |
This engrossing Danish thriller is like the 1995 Sandra Bullock vehicle While You Were Sleeping merged with Festen and turned into a film noir. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
You are swept along by the confidence of the storytelling even as you accept it might not hold up to close scrutiny. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
High concept thriller which fails to captivate due to unsympathetic characters. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Ambitious cross-cutting and occasional bursts of strident music hint at psychologically complex parallels and readings that the film fails to deliver. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
A fast, furious and fun homage to film noir with heart to spare. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
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 |
||
|
3/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
A game but chaotic attempt at neo-noir, ferociously acted and directed. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A well paced, though hardly credible, piece of noir. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
The grim result might stretch credibility, but that doesn’t make it any less entertaining. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Just Another Love Story, directed by Ole Bornedal, has a style like play-school Ingmar Bergman. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
The lure of a new life kickstarts this gripping Danish noir-romance. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
An enjoyable slice of Danish noir, thanks to a smartly written script and strong performances. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
Even though it's sometimes contrived, it's utterly gripping. Full Review |
||
|
5/5 |
The best thriller I've seen all year. Full Review |
