Rating: B --
Those who can't tell their Johnny Rotten's from their Right Said Fred's will be entertained by Coogan's charmingly relaxed turn and Frank Cottrell Boyce's ardent script.

Eclipse Magazine
...24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE dances to a different groove. It's a scrappy pop docudrama that's as mod, odd, and ironic as its subject...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
Excellent movie about punk's origins; older teens only.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 3/4 --
It's inaccurate to pin Manchester's rise as a musical mecca wholly on one person, but Wilson makes for a fascinating character study, and he's drolly played by Coogan.

Miami Herald
24 Hour Party People is a frenzied, metafilmic, postmodern splatter of a homage to a music movement . . . a jolting, raucous ride into the celluloid distance.'
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)
...24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE is a smart, gritty and visually inventive film....The characters are larger than life and real....It presents them so vividly and honestly that the impression it leaves is searing, jubilant and mournful...

Description by OLDIES.com:
This portrait of the eighties' music scene is viewed through the eyes of Tony Wilson, a young Cambridge graduate and TV presenter, who, inspired by the Sex Pistols' first Manchester gig, founds the now world-famous Factory Records and the Hacienda nightclub. The bands he signs include Joy Division and The Happy Mondays - who became seminal artists of their time - whilst the Hacienda transforms Manchester -- a declining industrial city into Mad-chester -- the place to be.
Product Description:
Staggeringly versatile director Michael Winterbottom follows up his epic Western THE CLAIM with a period piece of a completely different variety. A sprawling, visceral tribute to the legendary Manchester music scene that flourished between the years of 1976 and 1992, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE recreates that influential era with reckless exuberance. In order to bring structure to the tale, Winterbottom and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce focus their attentions on Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), the man who was responsible for making it all happen. A television reporter by day, Wilson also led a notorious double life as band manager (Joy Division, the Happy Mondays, James), label president (Factory Records), and club owner (The Hacienda). Fiercely determined and dangerously stubborn, Wilson's energy gave an entire subculture of Manchester youths their place in the spotlight, forever changing the face of popular music in the process. Shot by acclaimed cinematographer Robby Muller in faded digital video, Winterbottom's pulsating film tears through its subject matter like an ecstasy induced history lesson. The performances are flawless from top to bottom, most notably Coogan, Sean Harris, Paddy Considine, John Simm, and Danny Cunningham. A must-see for music aficionados, Winterbottom's film is also worth viewing for its sheer sense of hyperkinetic entertainment.
