The New York Times -
You don’t have to know anything about Joy Division to grasp the mysterious sorrow at its heart.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
It's Corbijn, shooting with a poet's eye in a harshly stunning black-and-white, who cuts to the soul of Ian's life and music. You don't watch this movie, you live it.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
Control goes past the clichés of punk rock-god gloom to offer a snapshot of alienation that's shockingly humane.
|
|
Salon -
Lovely and deeply touching picture.

|
The New Yorker -
Those who worship Joy Division may bridle at Corbijn’s film for its reluctance to mythologize their hero. Speaking as someone so irretrievably square that I not only never listened to the band but didn’t even know anyone who liked it, I can’t imagine a tribute more fitting than this.
