Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
movies-by-db This is wonderful modern film noir and somewhat of a rarity in Scandinavian cinema. Don't get me wrong, I love Scandinavian movies and believe they form an important part of European film making. But I particularly like it because of it's sober style and realistic topic's. This however is a different animal. A case of (mis)taken identity that turns into a delirious nightmare which masterfully unfolds in the shape of flashbacks and recovering memory loss. Lot's of style, beautiful lighting and cinematography.Once again, flawless acting from the whole cast. A very intense role from Danish favorite Nicolaj Lie Kaas, perfectly countered by everyday man Jonas played by Anders W. Berthelsen.I will not reveal the storyline as with all noirs it should be experienced and revealed as the beautiful puzzle it is. Only other film that comes to mind is "Vanilla Sky" which is of course a complete remake of the superior "Abre Los Ojos". And I'm actually amazed this hasn't been remade. So before they do decide to do so, check it out and experience it yourself 8/10
WakenPayne I Am A Bit Of A "Clueless" In Denmark's Film Industry, The Only Other Film I Saw From Denmark Is Brothers, This Is The Second Film I've Seen From Denmark And Both Films Were Absolutely Amazing.The Film Is My Idea Of Film-Noir Perfection; You Take An Everyday Man And Put Him As The Protagonist, You Add A Female Love Interest And A Mystery And You Have Your Start. The Plot Is That A Crime Photographer Is Involved In A Car Crash, He Goes To The Other Car And The Victim Mistakes Him For Her Boyfriend, He Visits Her Under The Boyfriend's Name, He Soon Falls In Love With Her Putting His Relationship With His Wife And Kids In Jeoprady...I Don't Actually Want To Tell You Anything Else Because The Less You Know The Better It Will Be When You Sit Down And Watch It.Nikolaj Lie Kaas Surprised Me In This, Overall Because He Played A Completely Different Role In Brothers And He Was Good In The Role But Like In Brothers He Wasn't The Highlight Performance, The Highlight Is Anders Berthelsen, He Pulled Off The Role Perfectly As A Protagonist Who Is Basically "A Normal Man".There Is Going To Be A Remake Of This In About A Year (At This Stage) But Like The Brothers Remake It'll Be Shot For Shot The EXACT SAME MOVIE (Except For A Few Things Where The Americans Won't Be Able To Handle It So They'll Cut It Out Like The Sebastian Character Supposedly Having Sex With The Character Julia While She Was In A Coma(I Personally Think That Scene Was Shown To Show How Disturbed He Really Is)), I Also Will Boycott The Movie And I Will Advise Anyone Else To Do The Same.Overall I Really Enjoyed This Movie, The Only Downpoint Is That You Know The Protagonist's End As Soon As The First Scene Is Over.
valis1949 This film could have been based on a novel written by Harlan Coben or Donald Westlake. In fact, Ole Bournedal (writer/director) has recently been tapped to direct Dean Koontz's novel, "The Husband". JUST ANOTHER LOVER STORY contains all the elements of classic noir fiction, and incorporates a fresh and modern cinematographic style. The film centers on a man who jettisons his humdrum existence for the love of a mysterious woman. Add amnesia, a murder-suicide, stolen diamonds, The Asian Mafia, and set the action in beautiful Denmark, and you have the essence of JUST ANOTHER LOVE STORY. This is not a great film, but it accomplishes every challenge, and is a very positive addition to Danish cinema, and the Film Noir Genre in general.
nielsfynbo Hm, so i can't write in danish? To bad, since no one else will watch this movie, not with that title anyway. I doubt many Danes will see it either. Only those who think they are intellectual and cultural when they watch it. In plane:This movie sucks! Just a lot of violence in a package of pseudo-intellectual nonsense. To make it look interesting there is a lot fast clips and jumps in time. That really doesn't make it better.The story is full of hints and effects from other films, and the morale is being close to be a cliché. It seems to be a everlasting theme for danish artists to confront the audience with the boring mediocre surburban life they supposable are living. That is truly boring, just like this film.
