Celebrated photographer and video director Floria Sigismondi makes her feature debut with this coming of age film about all girl band "The Runaways" that paved the way for other girl bands. Based on the book by Cherie Currie who was the lead singer of the band, the film chronicles how the band came together mostly through the story of Currie and Joan Jett who later reached greater success after the Runaways dissolved. Sigismondi has found the right project for her talent and it shows as she along with her cast and crew recreate the 70's LA with the right look and attitude. Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are perfectly cast as the leads along with a scene stealing Michael Shannon as their manager. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
