I really enjoyed this movie because Tyler Perry exposed the truth in a lot of marriages, there are so many marriages that have no trust, controlling,... adultery and secrets. Each couple had issues that needed to be exposed. I thought each couple worked out their differences and I really enjoyed Jill and Troy story in the movie when she lost the weight and remarried. I also loved the 80/20 percent in a relationship that was talked about in the movie, that is soooooo true, so many have lost a good woman or man due to this percentage. And the list of good and bad to determine if you should leave or stay was awsome. Thanks Tyler for keeping a whole lot of folks together after this movie. I think everyone that is married or single should see this movie. Full Review

You don't have to know anything about Joy Division to grasp the mysterious sorrow at its heart.Full Review

Control doesn't claim to know the reasons Curtis killed himself. The act of suicide poses the question why, but rarely answers it, leaving the living to wonder, and to grieve. And there's certainly grief to be had in Control, but also joy. Really.Full Review

One of the most perceptive of rock music biopics.Full Review

It's Corbijn, shooting with a poet's eye in a harshly stunning black-and-white, who cuts to the soul of Ian's life and music. You don't watch this movie, you live it.Full Review

Control goes past the clichs of punk rock-god gloom to offer a snapshot of alienation that's shockingly humane.Full Review
