Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
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.

Coogan, as the consummate overeducated, overly-erudite opinion leader, is spot-on perfect.
Orlando Sentinel
...The movie really is a blast....The film is outspoken, roaringly funny, defiantly sexual and relentlessly in-your-face...

Rating: B --
How much you enjoy 24 Hour Party People, director Michael Winterbottom's raucous look at the Manchester, England music scene of the '80s, probably depends on your background.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
...This movie is miraculous on many levels....The movie is one of the smartest, liveliest, most engaging and involving works you're likely to see this year...
Premiere
...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.
