Luca D. @JoeCamel7 Jan 8 Interesting story, even though most of it is fictionalized. The movie is entertaining at best. The acting is decent and it doesn't really have direction. It's not totally historically accurate but also not well written from a fictional standpoint, so it's kind of just a jumble of loose historical figures, flashing lights, and good music. Probably won't watch again. If you want to watch for the joy division part just watch Control instead. See more Peter F @RT64944199 Jun 7 One of a few essential party movies made in the UK. This, along with Human Traffic, are how party movies should be made.

The film is quite boring - like someone who wasn't 'edgy' trying to make an edgy film for the edgy youth sort of boring. Really gets flat as it goes along. There's a few golden nuggets in it though, like the depiction of Ian Curtis was well done, plus 'Martin' pretty much was the only highlights worth watching. Would actually be a great film had it gone with the angle of having Martin as the main character throughout on a similar storyline.

The story itself begins with the stirring and brilliant punk music of the late 70s, but turns (too) rapidly to the turgid, trippy noises of the Happy Mondays. Between these two lie Joy Division and their songs in this film inspired me to listen to a lot of their music online. The contrast between innovative talent (JD) and drug fuelled nothingness (HM) is disappointing to behold, but it is what the Hacienda was all about; so it goes.

But I didn't think much of this movie the first time I saw it, back in the day… However, I've just seen it again and it's brilliant! Tongue-in-cheek with an awesome soundtrack!
