Control manages to create a stunning and moving portrait of the rise and fall of Joy Division, one of my favorite bands of all time. Each stage performance by Sam Riley as Ian Curtis is nothing short of amazing, placing you directly in the crowd and hypnotizes you with the manic guitar work and the main singer's voice. But with a story that has a widely known end point, the journey is highly emphasized here - along with some truly amazing camera work and narrative, leading up the incredibly moving and inevitable finale. 8.7/10.
