BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Pierre_D New Order have been both one of the most exhilarating of pop groups at at the same time one of the most laconic and infuriating. For the most part a group of 4 hermits who have been hostile to the media at large, unwilling to express themselves past their obscure and beautiful album covers.Thus, it was a pleasure to find this on the shelf of my local music store, and moreso to hear them express themselves in a casual and sometimes insightful manner. Tony Wilson, the svengali with an edge, also appears and offers insight into Factory Records. Alan Erasmus did not appear but spoke as well.Sprinkle this with some nice videos and some concert footage, and this a fun, distracting ride into one of pop's more memorable bands.

James Stephen Barnes I didn't appreciate Bono popping up on screen in those annoying rock-star sunglasses murdering "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Also, much as I love Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant was irritating when he couldn't decide what his favourite NO song was. On the other hand, Keith Allen was as great as ever, and it was good to see Barney, Peter, Gill and Steven cut loose and enjoy themselves. It's also nice to see rare promo videos such as "Atmosphere" and live performances from Joy Division/New Order.Less Bono, less of Tony Wilson, more promos., this would have been the perfect video for the perfect band

Spotnick Beware, this movie is actually sold in 2 different ways, one for the USA, and one for the rest of the world. The USA version is only half of the time.On the Canadian version, you will also find the music videos for the following songs:Transmission, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Ceremony, Temptation, Blue Monday, Touched by the Hand of God, Bizarre Love Triangle, Confusion, Shellshock, State of the Nation, Perfect Kiss, True Faith, Round & Round, World In Motion, Fine Time, Regret, Temptation (Live), Everyone Everywhere (Live), Ruined In A Day, World and AtmosphereOverall, it's a good way to learn about New Order.

aplato The narration is a bit flaky but this is a good tale of the rise of New Order. Probably only NO junkies will love it. Being a NO junkie myself, I absolutely enjoyed it. The background about Joy Division helps explain a lot. The interviews with NO are very funny considering how enigmatic the band members can be.
