![]() We have childish debates on what counts as swear words, constant farting before a show - we are reminded that Curtis, and Joy Division as a whole, are just kids. To revisit the awkward dancing and movements that Curtis was actually famous for, Control is smart to establish this with a scene of Curtis alone in his room, goofily dancing in front of his bedroom mirror. From the steady and intense stares to gripping the microphone for dear life, to attempting to loosen up and dance only for it to look almost unnatural, his understanding of Curtis’ physicality both as a performer and a person is immensely interesting to watch. ![]() Riley is immaculate in his capturing of Curtis’ mannerisms, but the fact he is eerily the spitting image of him always helps. From the word "hate" painted boldly on the back of his jacket to the aggressive command that the band be on the show of a local TV presenter, Curtis has that fuse within him. His drive is not only fueled by his passion for music but, seemingly, out of anger and frustration. What makes the inevitable end of Control all the more heartbreaking, is Curtis’ inherent drive for stardom.
