Steve Coogan is marvellous in this twisted, fascinating and extremely well-directed drama about the life of Tony Wilson, a notorious record producer in the 70s and 80s whose blinding charisma and mindful social skills put bands such as Joy Division and Happy Mondays. The success, operation and eventual failure of Wilson's Factory Records nightclub The Hacienda are chronicled in overwhelming detail, the film darting swiftly through history to represent an era of musical revolution in stunning detail. Coogan's performance as Wilson is the film's stunning highlight, the comedian displaying remarkable versatility with his endless charm and hilarious attitude. 24 Hour Party People is the story of fast-moving people in a slow-moving world, grooving each to their own music, sighing each to their own song, and loving every moment of each sublime world they occupy.

I won't bore you with how steeped I am in all things Factory, how much I love the music and the people depicted within this, how I feel that my region, The North West, is the finest or how many times I've seen this film since I saw it twice at the cinema. Or that this film is never going to leave my top 5.

I'll just say this; if you don't like this film then I shall refer you to the words of the late and much missed Anthony H Wilson "You're entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is shit"

Man this film is as good as Almost Famous and it is like the British side of music in Manchaster where the Factory is born and then closed and it started the careers of so many bands and it doesn't shy away from some of the funny things and even the sad dark side of music. Michael Winterbottom made this film and it is probably my favorite film from him. I personally feel that this filmed should be viewed with Control to see more about Ian Curtis.

The story of journalist, record label and club owner Tony Wilson and the Manchester scene of the 70's & 80's. Only worth watching for the scenes about Joy Division. Due to the storytelling approach I found the rest of the film to be annoying and shallow .

Όλα ωραία, Joy Division, cool, New Order, cool, A Certain Ratio, cool, Durutti Column, cool, Happy Mondays, cool, τέλειο casting, πότε θα πάρουνε Oscar o Steve Coogan και ο Andy Serkis, o Martin Hannett είναι ό,τι καλύτερο συνέβη στην μουσική μετά τον Phil Spector.

Scruffy, clever, bonkers. And wistful. Not sure why it took me so very long to catch up with it.

I wish I was from manchester. Fuck Londons.

This is one of my favourite films and I can't really describe why. I think it's the mix of great music and humour - I've seen it a few times and it never fails to make me laugh.

Dan ganas de haber estado ahí y presenciar el nacimiento de la escena musical de Manchester. Me encanta la forma en que el personaje de Tony Wilson narra la historia y presenta esa atmósfera de drogas, sexo, decadencia y música como inofensiva y divertida, tiene sus partes de comedia y sus partes trágicas.
