lacked depth

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2014)

for me,the main point of making a movie about Ian Curtis,would be to portray his troubled mind and to show us the viewer his troubled soul.very much like the book.watching this movie though,we never go deep into his mind.so by the Well known climax,are left empty with no justifications for his actions.When we all know that in his mind he was a troubled soul.Its frustrating because the film should of told us the depth of his soul and i feel it failed miserably.it felt very much not about Ian Curtis.just a story of a pop singer and all the usual clichés.Also because of the lack of depth in to Ian's problems,i found myself feeling Sorry for his wife,which in a way Really was not the point with this film.the obvious point was to highlight Ian and his mind and mental illness.so Really was a chance missed to portray this man.
