A solid film. Beautifully shot and acted, this movie does a good job of telling the stories of Ian, Joy Division and Debbie. It stays very much in theme with the bands music.

Beautifully shot, great acting. Impressive. (Review by someone who doesnt (didnt) know Joy Division.) Best movie of the year so far.

Brilliant. I loved it through and through.

Stylish, great, clearly work from an impressive photographer and director as well.

Beautiful film - I'm not even bothered about Joy Division. Excellently realised.

An outstanding biopic. I've been a Joy Division fan for 21 years and read everything there is on them, but this film made me appreciate them in new ways. That's quite an achievement. There are some very real, and raw, moments here; so don't go if you're looking for a shallow good time and nothing more.

I love Joy Division since I was 12, for the past 15 years I always wondered why he killed himself. Control gave another perspective of Ian, his lyrics and his decision to cash his ticket to the other side..... One of the best movies!!!!!

What a beautiful movie Anton Corbijn made. You can see he is a master in black and white (cinema)photography. Beautiful images and a good storyline. Great acting, especially the character of Ian Curtis: Marvellously played! Gives a very good image of these days in the depri/new wave/ avantgarde/ post punk music scene of Britain.

Riley gives a great performance as Ian Curtis, hitting the character perfectly (not just voice or attitude, but also those small little gestures. Cate Blanchett did this in portraying Dylan in "I'm Not There"). Corbijn makes a wonderful turn in his feature debut.

This movie was excellent. I love the fact that they over recorded the songs with the band that they had in the movie, this makes the movie alot more interesting by watching and listening to how perfectly they learned joy divisions music to play for this movie.
