Well I watched it last night and thought it was pretty good.  Very arty,
in black and white, with long shots and silent pauses but moody.

I thought the actors had a pretty good resemblance to their actual
characters although the "Tony Wilson" character was played in a wimpy
kind of way.

The music scenes of the band playing together were the strongest for me.
It looked like they were playing the songs but I couldn't work out if it
was very good syncing to the actual track or they were playing it live.
Very good though.  Stephen Morris's drumming is very fast and frenetic.

Cheers

Chris
