I will start off by saying that if you're American then don't bother watching the film unless you're a big New Order/Joy Division/Factory Records fan otherwise your arrogant, narrow minded small town sensibilities will be pricked.
I grew up in Manchester for a while and was at UMIST in mid 80's (New Order came out with Low Life whilst I was there and it changed my musical tastes overnight) and this film really evokes the atmosphere of Manchester and it's music.
I'll readily admit it's not going to be a film that's easily understood if you're from Wichita Falls and only listen to Guns & Roses/Patsy Cline/Shania Twain...
A fan's film really and therefore will appeal most to those into the music and the personalities of the place the film's talking about.
