Synopsis

Manchester 1976: Cambridge educated Tony Wilson, Granada TV presenter, is at a Sex Pistols gig. Totally inspired by this pivotal moment in music history, he and his friends set up a record label, Factory Records, signing first Joy Division (who go on to become New Order) then James and the Happy Mondays, who all become seminal artists of their time.

What ensues is a tale of music, sex, drugs, larger-than-life characters, and the birth of one of the most famous dance clubs in the world, The Hacienda - a mecca for clubbers as famous as the likes of Studio 54. Graphically depicting the music and dance heritage of Manchester from the late 70's to the early 90's, this comedy documents the vibrancy that made Mad-chester the place in the world that you would most like to be.

The soundtrack of 24 Hour Party People perfectly captures the energy and spirit of the Manchester music scene from the late 70s to the early 90s. The eclectic mix of tracks from Joy Division, New Order, James, and Happy Mondays immerses the audience in the era and enhances the storytelling.

John Harris
5/10

The inclusion of tracks from iconic bands like Joy Division and New Order adds authenticity to the film and pays homage to the influential artists that emerged from the Manchester music scene. The soundtrack serves as a love letter to the city's vibrant musical legacy, making it a key element in the overall success of 24 Hour Party People.

Joseph Roberts
9/10

The eclectic mix of tracks in the film enhances the storytelling, creating a rich and immersive experience for the audience. From the pulsating beats of the dance floor at The Hacienda to the melancholic melodies of Joy Division, the soundtrack serves as a powerful companion to the on-screen drama, adding depth and emotion to the narrative.

Joshua Scott
2/10

The soundtrack of 24 Hour Party People fails to capture the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the punk and post-punk movements that defined the music scene in Manchester during the late 70s and early 80s.

Paul Anderson
1/10

Despite the film's focus on iconic bands like Joy Division, New Order, James, and the Happy Mondays, the soundtrack of 24 Hour Party People falls short in showcasing the diversity and innovation of the Manchester music scene during that time, leaving out key tracks and artists that were instrumental in shaping the city's musical landscape.

Dorothy Campbell
6/10

The use of music in the film effectively mirrors the evolution of the characters and the music industry during that time period. The soundtrack transitions seamlessly between punk, post-punk, and the emerging dance music scene, reflecting the changing landscape of Manchester's musical history.

Joshua Moore
2/10

The selection of songs in the film's soundtrack feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the musical journey of the characters and the era they are navigating.
