Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
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. Both movies gain because they star actors unfamiliar to us. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
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. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Phillips
A preposterous but beautifully polished Danish thriller. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWalter Addiego
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. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
A violent, melodramatic, feverishly overplotted tale of midlife crisis and crazy love. It's good, nasty fun until it gets boxed in by its own contrivances toward the end. Read full review

VarietyJustin Chang
Contrived excess is rarely as entertaining as it is in the ironically titled Just Another Love Story, a furiously overheated romantic thriller from Danish writer-helmer Ole Bornedal. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'Hehir
You could call Just Another Love Story nothing more than an exercise in style, but A) Bornedal's got style to burn and B) that's not quite fair. Beneath all the dazzling cinematography, propulsive score and overcommitted acting, I found this movie an affecting, mordant comedy about male midlife crisis in its most extreme form.

The New York TimesStephen Holden
It may not go anywhere in particular, but it is as exciting as a trip through a well-equipped, scary fun house. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
In its voluble mix of accident trauma and infidelity, this 2007 Danish feature by Ole Bornedal is highly reminiscent of Susanne Bier's superb "Open Hearts." Read full review

The A.V. ClubNoel Murray
Enjoyably moody in the early going, and it develops into a decent Hitchcockian thriller at times. Read full review

Village VoiceNicolas Rapold
Danish director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch) continues a career of laying the groundwork for remakes that will be middling in more familiar, English-language ways. Read full review
