Martin Hoyle Financial Times Too shapeless and unplotted; and Mangan's not-too-ruffled rueful affability hails more from sitcom land. Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Laura Bushell BBC.com 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2007 Full Review 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. Rated: 2/6 Sep 7, 2007 Full Review 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. Rated: 2/5 Sep 7, 2007 Full Review 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Tim Evans Sky Cinema Debut writer-director Col Spector draws out richly detailed performances, particularly from Mangan, and the script is bursting with all-too-familiar break-up clichs that can only have been drawn from bitter experience. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It's all a bit too quiet, a bit too reserved, possibly a bit too British indie. One gets the sense, from this and many other British indie romcoms produced around the same time, that there was an almost pathological fear of 'doing a Four Weddings'. Thus whilst careful to avoid any Hugh Grant stereotypes, the leading men are now confused, but charmless and the women are finally fully developed, but unlikeable. Also the only song is by Take That...seriously? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Written almost entirely in relationship cliches, which either makes it very bad or very real. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member There's nothing special about the story or the film making, but it does serve as a warning about relationships. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member and let that be a lesson to ya. This movie comprised of a multitude of different attitudes to love, not just the one. Although , the one, is the one that mostly touches some nerve of my past personal experiences in that field. It depicts how easily things can change, from the confidence that comes from 'having it all' , to then having nothing. You can see from the beginning that David is a selfish mug who doesn't realize what he's got until it's too late. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it although very indulgent but had that dark, dull London feel about it. Reminded me of Mike Leigh. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member wow i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is an ok movie 2 watch....this has got a good cast of actors/actressess throguhout this movie....i think that the scenery throughout the countryside throughout this movie is nice/calm n relaxing....this is kind of a short movie (its only 1hour n a half)...i think that this is good because its explors the relationships between the main character n girls he's with...this is a pretty ok movie 2 watch its nothing special but its ok..n the bloke on the poster is from the hit tv show green wing n he does the barclay card adverts...
