Control (2007)

I've been waiting to see a transmission of this film for a few months now. Anton Corbijn pours his heart and soul into this feature, showing true control in his direction. This insight into the life of Ian Curtis deals with fame, isolation and how love will tear us apart. Decades on from his death, this is a moving and beautiful film that catches the atmosphere of the era perfectly. After viewing Control it becomes, quite simply, a known pleasure.

Janck 4.5 stars (Feb 2008)

Decent Ian Curtis biopic, with a fantastic lead performance from Sam Riley. Touching and well documented, this is well worth a look-in; but will strike a stronger chord with Joy Division fans rather than the masses.

Mitch 3.5 stars
