24 Hour Party People Reviews
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Even if you have never heard of the Mondays, whose members swiftly self-destructed in Ecstasy and excess, or of Tony Wilson, the entrepreneur the film is about, you may find yourself drawn into the vortex created by director Michael Winterbottom.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
A real party, but it's hard to keep track of the guests.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Coogan, as the consummate overeducated, overly-erudite opinion leader, is spot-on perfect.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
With enough verve and energy, if a not an absolute devotion to truth, to keep you dancing and thinking for days.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Rave and dance music aficionados will be pleased to see an important chapter in their cultural history.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Its wit and sense of fun open it up to people with only a passing interest in the music and the era.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Great good fun even if you spent the 1980s listening to Loverboy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Winterbottom has set a high, new standard with 24 Hour Party People, his funny, riveting look at the music scene that ruled Manchester, England, from 1976 to 1992.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Winterbottom, who rarely makes comedies ... nevertheless appreciates Coogan's richly comic portrait and lets him run with it.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
One of the most purely entertaining films about (for want of a better term) pop music in years.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Excellent movie about punk's origins; older teens only.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
A formally dazzling, breathlessly profane love letter to punk attitude that recalls every rockumentary from A Hard Day's Night to This is Spinal Tap while remaining fiercely, defiantly original.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
A light and playful look at the Manchester music scene which spans from the punk explosion to the dawn of acid house.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
The manic swirl of characters (most speaking in thick Northern accents that are sometimes muffled and incomprehensible) may leave you exhausted and confused.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Shines with a kind of inspired madness.
Washington Post
David Segal
Smart and grabby enough to work even if you think 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is a bummer of a fortune cookie rather than a Joy Division tune.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Amazing, rich in authentic period atmosphere and detail, an ever-changing cyclorama of a movie that contains and frames Wilson, who never is allowed to overwhelm it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The actors' performances are a mix of eerie mimicry and something more: a portrait of ambitious dreamers kicking around big notions and doing absolutely self-destructive, stupid things.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
If you're even vaguely a fan of any of the groups in 24 Hour Party People, you'd be an idiot not to see this film.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
24 Hour Party People is hilarious and cheeky -- and it's crammed with dozens of great musical numbers, along with the inevitable string of setbacks and tragedies as well.
