I think Corbijn was trying to focus quite a bit more on the whole story whereas a lot of Deborah's book dealt with their marriage and relationship. I love Joy Division but I never connected with Ian Curtis because I don't think he was that great of a person - I think they tried to smooth that over quite a bit in the film. The final scene was as chilling as I thought it would be but it was also inaccurate - Deborah's version is different in the book. Agreed about Sam Riley's performance - it was amazing. But it really bothered me that he had brown eyes!! Ian's were piercing blue. I’m actually surprised that you thought the film was true to the book as I didn’t think it was at all.

Oh and Samantha Morton is a really underrated actress. I can't think of anytime she hasn't been great.
