All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you think the title is ironic, you'd be 100% correct. This is as unconventional a romance as it comes... as a bored, frustrated father of two witnesses a crash, where a beautiful young woman is injured. Suffering from amnesia, he puts his morals aside by pretending to be her boyfriend... fooling her family and leaving his in the process. What he doesn't bank on though, is the girl having a DARK AND MYSTERIOUS past which is about to turn around bite her (and him, by implication) in the... posterior. Ouch.Full of more twists and turns than the world's biggest chute, where the movie also scores is the superb direction... especially when two tense scenes are juxtapositioned (look it up, word fans) together. The acting is also on point, with each performer wringing every last drop of emotion and tension out of the material. And like the best suspense dramas, they talk to each other like REAL people, not cardboard cutouts from a pulp novel. Overall, the best import from Denmark since streaky bacon. Sorry, I'm not a Man U fan... 7/10

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.

Actually I can't agree with the rather negative user comment. I saw the movie just last week at the Fantasy Filmfest in Munich, Germany. In my opinion the movie was one of the surprising highlights at the Fantasy Filmfest. I was pleasantly surprised after watching many of the other movies at the festival. Different from many of the other films which were just splatter and blood everywhere, this movie actually had a good story, surprising twists and good actors. I liked how the actor showed the feelings of many people: not wanting to be normal and having some more exciting things happening in his life. He actually had a good life with a wife, kids, nice flat, but something was just missing. I think a lot of people feel like this. And best of all: The ending is great!

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.
