This movie absolutely blew me away. As far as musical biopics go, this is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Sam Riley got my attention the moment he appeared on screen and never let go. He played Ian Curtis with such passion and charisma but also highlighted the character flaws and decisions Curtis made in his life. Samantha Morton breaks my heart as Curtis’ wife who really did everything she could to show her love for Curtis. When she finds out that her husband is less than loyal, the way she responded was unpredictable. Like the actors’ performances, this film is very lowkey yet it has an undeniable quiet power that moved me. As for Joy Division, I didn’t know much more about them except that they greatly influenced Franz Ferdinand’s music. So, I didn’t know what I was in for. Joy Divisio... |
