i went into the movie expecting more i think but wasn't left disappointed just felt like i could have skipped about 30 minutes of the movie and still got the same enjoyment out of it. i wanted to know how he lived more than what forced him to die really and was let down that it was just tragedy until the end. all in all a good movie but very drawn out and bleak.

Read MoreWow, talk about a DEPRESSER. I was HOPING to see more things with THE BAND, to see more in depth about the songs and significant things Joy Division did, but it just made Ian look like an idiot had the guts to cheat on the women he loved, but didn't have balls to be true to either one of them. The movie was shot well and there were some really good performers involved, I just think if they could've included more band stuff it would've been easier to swallow. If you like to watch tragedy and be depressed, this is the movie for you. Me? I like my money back please... Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I thought this movie was great. Loved the black and white and the fact that it was filmed in the actual house/area that they lived and worked in. The actors were all very good. Very well done. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
