"Control"

Even if you don't know Joy Division, you can still enjoy "Control." And if you do like Joy Division, you'll like it even more! But basically, this is not meant to be a biopic of the band or even the lead singer, Ian Curtis. It's more of a story about a young guy trying to find his way, creatively and emotionally. Although it's a depressing topic (Curtis killed himself at 23), the movie actually had some pretty funny moments -- the guy playing the band's manager has some really good lines. This is definitely not "La Bamba" or "Walk the Line"; more "The Committments" or "Pollack" vibe than anything else. *****
