Critic Reviews

  • Dave Calhoun, Time Out

    Spector, who's a fluid, straightforward director, resists the crutch of music until the final scene when he goes and blows it all by playing something stupid like... a Gary Barlow song.

  • Martin Hoyle, Financial Times

    Too shapeless and unplotted; and Mangan's not-too-ruffled rueful affability hails more from sitcom land.

  • Steve Watson, Film4

    A muzak rendition of Take That's 'Back For Good' plays over the montage that ends the film. It seems a fittingly empty conclusion to a story that never really engages with its audience.

  • Laura Bushell, BBC

    Someone Else is the top end of indie filmmaking, with a polished script and even shinier cinematography from Trevor Forrest, but it's low-key enough not to verge onto Richard Curtis territory.

  • David Jenkins, Total Film

    Performances and script are both first-rate, but what really rivets is how scarily /familiar/ it all feels, from the listless rebound romances to the forced insularity of post-breakup bachelorhood. Superb stuff.
