The slowing of the rotation of the earth suddenly causes the days and nights to begin to perceptibly stretch longer and longer. Gravity isn’t what it used to be and the effects of this all on the environment are tremendous. Still, in spite of the grandiosity of these goings-on, daily life continues for a young girl who tries to deal with the precariousness of her parents’ relationship with one another, as well as her own budding relationships, forcing her to cope with what’s personal while facing the threat presented by the much bigger picture.
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in this music-fueled story of the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways. The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Curie, as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. 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. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie's tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.
