- 88Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt'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.
- 75New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoA 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.
- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA preposterous but beautifully polished Danish thriller.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoSan Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoYou 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.
- 70VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangContrived 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.
- 70SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirYou 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.
- 70The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenIt may not go anywhere in particular, but it is as exciting as a trip through a well-equipped, scary fun house.
- 70Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesIn 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."
- 67The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayEnjoyably moody in the early going, and it develops into a decent Hitchcockian thriller at times.
- 50Village VoiceVillage VoiceDanish director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch) continues a career of laying the groundwork for remakes that will be middling in more familiar, English-language ways.
