Another one.

I've read the last two reviews early in the morning. I've said before, I am a fan!
I understand curiosity but dirt won't allow you to see the character.
Another very positive one that I don't think is here yet.

The thin line between creative genius and insanity is walked with humor and poignancy in Frank, a quirky tribute to those bands that live on the musical margins where practically nobody can find them. When those bands dare to compromise and make their way into the mainstream, what gets lost in the pursuit of acceptance? The most unlikely music biopic you're ever likely to find, Frank asks that question and many more while honoring those who have journeyed to the "far corners" of artistic expression.
I love this review. I'm in the arts and I've had to deal with the compromise question myself. So this movie is right on time for me.

One of the early tweets said that this film would resonate with everyone who has been in a band, and sounds like it extends to all the arts. I'm just hoping it gets picked up by someone for distribution in the US!
And here's another one by indiewire.

Fassbender's Ian Curtis-like delivery of the anthemic "I Love You All" is at once catchy and melancholic, neatly encapsulating the movie's central drama, even as it hides beneath a cryptic mask of its own.
Ian Curtis-like delivery?? Yay!!

I had never heard Ian Curtis, so I just looked him up on Youtube. That's impressive! Can't wait to hear/see it.

You'd never heard of Ian Curtis?! I'm actually jealous that you are going to hear Unknown Pleasures for the first time!

Another good 'un.
Wired nailed an interesting element of the film's social media aspect.
