Twiggy H A 'mockcumentary' movie with a great selection of comedic actors, most gone to waste. 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Chris H Coogan is very good in this but there are spot on turns aplenty from the rest of the cast. 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Jim P As an old guy from the North of England I grew up loving this kind of music. 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! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Torin F Factory Records. Joy Division. New Order. Happy Mondays. Manchester. From punk to rave, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE chronicles a unique period in music history with an engaging stylistic approach. In depicting the excesses of its title, the film does drag a bit during its two-hour run time. Overall, however, and regardless of your affinity with this particular music scene, its an artful and thoroughly entertaining excursion. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Gareth v One of the best music movies to be made, and one of 2002's best. A tale of madness, excess, success, and tragedy in this story of the influential Factory Records and Manchester music scene. Did I mention how good the music is? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Shioka O Maybe not everything in this is true, but the documentary-like direction looks real and believable, also entertaining. I'm not a big fan of the music genre, but it's interesting to see music scene evolved from New Wave to rave that flourished in the English industrial city Manchester.
