Jonas, a married man, finds himself in a car accident. The other driver, Julia, is critically injured. When Jonas visits Julia in the hospital, her family mistakes him for Sebastian, her new fiance. The situation grows even more complicated when Jonas realizes that Julia, now amnesiac, also thinks he is the one she loves.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger 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.
San Francisco Chronicle by Walter 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.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Phillips
A preposterous but beautifully polished Danish thriller.
New York Post by V.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.
Boston Globe by Ty 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.
Chicago Reader by J.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."
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
It may not go anywhere in particular, but it is as exciting as a trip through a well-equipped, scary fun house.
Salon by Andrew 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.
Variety by Justin 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.
The A.V. Club by Noel Murray
Enjoyably moody in the early going, and it develops into a decent Hitchcockian thriller at times.
Village Voice
Danish director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch) continues a career of laying the groundwork for remakes that will be middling in more familiar, English-language ways.
