Leave your thoughts about Joy Division.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEnergetic tell-all pic about the beginnings in 1976 of the legendary post-punk rock band from the grimy factory city of Manchester. |
| Empire MagazineAnna SmithA revealing portrait of a ground-breaking band. |
| User ReviewStephen CSimply brilliant doc on one of the most influential groups to come out of Manchester. Grant Gee shows us how the musci of the band was developed out of a City which was dying on its feet. We also get amazing rare footage of the band in Concert and at work with the mad Genius of Martin Hannet. All the surviving band members give there thoughts along with Tony Wilson,Paul Morley and many others. And then there is the music which is simply breathtaking and powerful. An excellent triple Bill Along with Control and 24hR Party people and a film made with passion |
| User ReviewPrivate UI don't get the whole attempt at the analogy between Joy Division and Manchester. But it's a great doc. |
| User ReviewLauren BAn old boyfriend loved JD and got me interested in the band. This is an excellent biopic. Of course, it's always tragic when someone young and talented dies by their own hand. |
| User ReviewLiz Ca great doc from the people who were there, well, sans Ian, Rob and Martin. some classic Tony Wilson-isms as well. and, of course, a great tribute to Manchester. loved it. |
| User Reviewmichael mhendrix,joplin,morrison,kobain and curtis. definitely one of the greats of our time. |
| User ReviewWill AThought it was really cool. Did think it was going down the julian temple way of making a band documentary but does stand out on its own |
| User ReviewAndrew CA superb documentary on one of the most influential bands from the last 30 years and a fan's delight. |
| User ReviewAudun KExcellent documentary. Highly, highly recommended. |
