The New York Times
You don’t have to know anything about Joy Division to grasp the mysterious sorrow at its heart. - 88
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. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
Control goes past the clichés of punk rock-god gloom to offer a snapshot of alienation that's shockingly humane. - 80
Salon
Lovely and deeply touching picture. - 80
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. - 75
New York Post
A rock bio minus the fun. The sex is guilt-stricken, the drugs are used to treat epilepsy, and the rock 'n' roll is about isolation and despair. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
A romantic victim to the end, this Ian Curtis is all that worshipful fans could ever hope for. - 75
ReelViews
In essence, Control is a standard order biopic of a tormented artist. What makes the film interesting, if not unique, is the style in which director Anton Corbijn has elected to present it.
