I thought this movie was simply wonderful. It was very engaging. The performances were very strong from Sam Riley and Samantha Morton! The rest of the cast shone off each other. Toby Kebbell as Rob Gretton was fun and brought a lot of the humour to the film, a lot of the laughs came from what he said! I thought he was given great lines, very witty. Last year in July I myself was lucky enough to have met both Samantha Morton and Toby Kebbell! I got their autographs and I picture with Samantha Morton! Both actors seemed like very nice people and it was a pleasure to have met them! I was so exited when I finally saw that Control would be released on October 5th. I knew I had to be there on the opening day, and of course I was. I recommend this film to anyone who loves their movies, it was such a good watch. It was amazing. You just have to see it. Rose…(Liz Finch)!!

Being a fan of Joy Division I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. I did not get to see it on the big screen, as I had hoped. Maybe I was expecting too much based on all the great reviews but I was disappointed by this movie. It had great acting and it was well shot but the pace was just too slow for me. In particular the scenes involving Riley and Lara really dragged. Shooting it in black and white was a great idea. I also did not have a lot history of his life, so the movie did answer lots of questions for me. I was surprised to see he was a civil servant. If only there was a better script this movie would be a classic for me. But maybe on a second watching I will see more.

The protrayal is astonishing by Sam Riley who is Ian Curtis double. Movie was great until around the 1 hour mark around the time he met Annik and for the last 50 minutes it dragged at such a slow pace. Still decent biopic. Would mean more to the fans of the band. I knew of them, and of him and what happened , just was never a fan of the band. Just knew some of the songs and their classic song , Love will tear us apart.
