From The New Yorker
Tony Wilson, the Manchester music impresario who founded Factory records in the late seventies-home to Joy Division (later New Order) and Happy Mondays, among others-gets a fevered tribute in Michael Winterbottom's blast of a film. Wilson is played with a brilliant élan by British comic Steve Coogan-a standout performance that captures the dour enthusiasm of Wilson's genius. And Winterbottom's casting of the myriad musician roles is flawless; there isn't a hair style or a body type that seems out of place. The film's direction has the jittery anarchic feel of a good punk song, and the script displays a fast and free humor that indulges in the excesses of a rock-and-roll life. -Bruce Diones
