First reviews of Runaways film surface

Popular film geek site Ain't It Cool News have posted one of the first reviews of the forthcoming Runaways film starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. The review heaps praise on the biopic saying:

The film follows the evolution and too quick demise of THE RUNAWAYS, that amazing all girl concept band that didn't monkey around. You see a young Joan Larkin buy her first leather coat and suddenly - she became Joan Jett. Joan had a dream of an all girl band that would rock as hard, if not harder, than the boys. Kristen Stewart is amazing to watch - there's a shyness that reads as alienation perfectly in this film.

Dakota is playing Cherie Currie, who was 15 when she joined the band (same age as Dakota). Cherie didn't handle success very well... diving head first into the realm of drugs, sex and rock & roll. In the film, we don't see Dakota naked - so you pervs can forget screen grabs. Instead, the sex and promiscuity is shot in a very non-exploitive, but erotic manner. Her love scene with Kristen Stewart will probably rot a lot of brains - and Dakota is used perfectly to show something more than what Cherie Currie's public image was. Let's face it, Cherie was the highly sexualized fetishized Jail Bait rocker of the group.

Kristen and Dakota are amazing to watch together in this film. THE RUNAWAYS is a fantastic film. It premieres at SXSW and shortly thereafter in theaters nationwide. Like the original RUNAWAYS, these girls and this movie rock.

Another trailer has been posted for the film and that can be found via YouTube.
