    Control is once again back on Sky Cinema as a freebie.
    Brilliant role by Sam Riley … can’t believe it’s 15 years since release

    Huge fan, and as such I can't watch Control a second time. Left cinema feeling angry and depressed at the waste of genius.

    Went to cinema on my own to watch control. Deliberately picked a quiet time as preferred to have been the only 1 there. great portrayal.

    I think Joy Division would have been the most popular and influential band of the 80s and the face of music would have looked very different. Great film and performance but a difficult watch.

    Hope it’s nothing to do with the current situation.

    Long time fan but leaving that on one side a very good film, well worth a watch if you’ve not seen it.

    Feel like that every time I listen to them but in a strange way it invigorates me.
    Pure genius

    Sam used to go in the same pub as me in Woodhouse. I got to know him well, he never had much money and was always on the "tap" but was a really nice lad.
    He told me one night he was going to London for an audition as the drummer in a film about Joy Division (a band he'd never heard of!). A few weeks later him and his brother came in, bursting with excitement. I asked him if he had got the part and they both said they couldn't say anything. Fast forward 2 hours on the ale and he revealed he'd landed the main role. The cheeky sod then tapped me for two quid so he could put Joy Division on the jukebox so he could hear them for the first time! True story.

    He got us on the guestlist to see his band called 10,000 things at the Wardrobe in Leeds. I went with a friend and he put us on the guestlist as his Mam and Dad!!

    Joy Division weren't so much my favourite band when I was at school, more an obsession. But at the time very few people had heard of or cared for them. I tried to get my mates to listen but they weren't interested. Now of course they are very well known, mainly because bright, studious types of that era to whom they appealed find themselves in positions of power and make films and documentaries which sell the legend. (Edit: I feel vindicated, but I still have work to do on getting people to listen to Cardiacs)

    Great film, I know it wasn't strictly about joy division but 24 hour party people was great too. Martin Hannett was brilliant on it

    How has that been 15 years? Absolutely amazing how it captured the general atmosphere and the emotions.
