Sundance. Just Another Love Story.

"The Danish film Just Another Love Story takes the classic film noir genre and gives it a good, hard twist," writes Sara Vilkomerson in the New York Observer. "Writer-director Ole Bornedal and cinematographer Dan Laustsen create stunning and often surprising visuals that you'll remember long after the movie is over."

"Jonas [Anders W Berthelsen] starts the film off narrating, Sunset Blvd-style, from a spreading pool of blood on the sidewalk," writes Alison Willmore at the IFC Blog. "How he finally ends up there, through a process of third act leaps of logic and over-the-top plot developments, turns out to be disappointing, but much of the briskly stylish film that precedes it isn't."

"My gut reaction is that this is 85 minutes of an enjoyably unusual drama, plus 20 minutes of excess," writes Eric D Snider at Cinematical. "But on the other hand, it could be that the finale is the only reasonable conclusion to what's happened so far. Either way, it's a movie you can sink your teeth into, something a bit different from the norm."
