Rating: 2/5 -- Given that the band were more about attitude than music, there's not a lot of substance here. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Fanning makes Currie's fame- and pharmaceutical-fueled transformation/liberation at once exhilarating and terrifying. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Maybe The Runaways is Linson's way of showing that he can make a success of this subject, and I think he has done, with a film which shows how brutal and sexist rock'n'roll is. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Exuberant and aggressive but also questionable and ambivalent.
Little White Lies
Sep 9, 2010
The audience is meant to relate to Jett's indignation-the band's success should hinge on their sound, not their looks-but it feels like a bogus position, since we, in watching the scene on the lawn, have been made complicit in Cherie's objectification. Full Review
Newsweek
Feb 7, 2018
While the offstage passion between Jett and Currie gives the film its emotional drive, their in-concert erotic aggression is an occasion for elegantly examining the line between self-expression and self-exploitation. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's a too-familiar rags-to-riches-to-rags tale without much substance. But it looks and sounds good, and now and again it rocks. Full Review

Product Description:

Martina Cole's best-seller comes to the screen in this crime thriller starring Alan Cumming, Ken Stott, and Keith Allen. Set in the East London criminal underworld of the 1960s and 70s, THE RUNAWAY follows childhood sweethearts Eamonn Docherty (Jack O'Connell) and Cathy Connor (Joanna Vanderham) as they are torn apart by circumstances beyond their control, but later find themselves reunited under entirely different circumstances.
