Love and obession - By: M. A. Ramos, 06 Oct 2007 
When I sat down to watch this I knew nothing about it. And I was not very pleased by the beginning...the main character Matthew played by Josh Hartnett appears to be very pathetic & obsessive. I almost turned it off when he kept doing things that made me cringe at how pathetic he looked. But after the first flashback you start to get a feel for the movie.
Yes, this director seemed to love to tell a disjointed story using a series of flashbacks. And a technique of showing the characters through a reflective view, as if watching them through a mirror at times. You can actuallly reallly appreciate this film on the second viewing.
You realize that the main character fell madly in love with Lisa played by Diane Kruger. But one day she just disappears & two years later Matthew thinks he sees her again. Of course he tracks her down to only find another Lisa, who we find out is Alex played by Rose Byrne. But we can tell something sinister is happening. And from this point on we want to watch the movie. This movie overalll is a romance. This movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise & the ending will not disappoint you.
Unexpected storyline - By: Lydia Grace, 05 Jul 2007 
In this film, Diane Kruger plays the beautiful Lisa. Matthew (Josh Harnett)becomes infatuated from the moment he lays eyes on her. There aquantiance soon blossoms into love. However there is supposedly another Lisa.
In this confusing storyline, Matthew struggles to find the "real" Lisa. The viewer feels much sympathy for Alex (Rose Byrne) who pretends to be Lisa as shes so in love with matthew. The complicated love triangle, is gripping right up untill the end. You need to watch it a few times to reallly get whats happening, but its well worth watching.
The soundtrack is fantastic as well, with such artists as Stereophonics & Coldplay. Strange & Beautiful by Aqualung fits the theme of the film perfectly.
Cleverly edited, directed and acted.. - By: John graham, 01 Mar 2006 
I am not a fan of Josh Hartnett but in this fantastic thriller he plays the character reallly well & he looks amazing. It is a great story of lust, love, deceit & obsession. The soundtrack to Wicker park is amazing which includes Death cab for cutie, stereophonics & coldplay. Reallly enjoyable movie.
