Control

A terrific rock bio-pic about Ian Curtis, Joy Division’s lead singer, who killed himself when he was 23. Directed by famed rock photographer Anton Corbijn and starring Samantha Morton as Curtis’s wife Deborah, who wrote the book the film is based on.

“Control goes past the clichés of punk rock-god gloom to offer a snapshot of alienation that's shockingly humane.” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly)

“Where CONTROL might have been literal-minded and sentimental, it is instead enigmatic and moving, much in the manner of Joy Division’s best songs.” (A.O. Scott, New York Times)

“You don't watch this movie, you live it.” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)
