Martin Hoyle Financial Times 09/07/2007
Too shapeless and unplotted; and Mangan's not-too-ruffled rueful affability hails more from sitcom land. Go to Full Review
Laura Bushell BBC.com 09/07/2007
3/5
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. Go to Full Review
Dave Calhoun Time Out 09/07/2007
2/6
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. Go to Full Review
Steve Watson Film4 09/07/2007
2/5
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. Go to Full Review
David Jenkins Total Film 09/07/2007
4/5
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. Go to Full Review
Tim Evans Sky Cinema 09/07/2007
3/5
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. Go to Full Review

10/07/2013 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? See more 09/26/2012 Written almost entirely in relationship cliches, which either makes it very bad or very real. See more 08/07/2012 There's nothing special about the story or the film making, but it does serve as a warning about relationships. See more 08/05/2012 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. See more 11/25/2008 I liked it although very indulgent but had that dark, dull London feel about it. Reminded me of Mike Leigh. See more 09/17/2008 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...
