Review of The Runaways (2010) by Sharon D — 04 Jul 2011
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in the music-fueled coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all-girl rock band, THE RUNAWAYS. They fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), who turns the rebellious Southern California kids into a rock group with outrageous success. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself and so do its two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
Also stars Stella Maeve, Scout Taylor-Compton, Alia Shawkat, Danielle Riley, Johnny Lewis and Tatum O'Neal.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi.
