I break down the performances, especially the dynamic between Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, and how the film portrays fame, exploitation, and the chaotic reality of being thrown into the music industry way too young. There are moments that feel raw and authentic, but also others that feel intentionally unsettling in a way that really stuck with me after the credits rolled.
Was that discomfort the point? Or did the movie go too far in how it handled certain scenes and themes? I get into all of that here, along with my overall thoughts on whether The Runaways still works as a music biopic today.
Let me know in the comments if you had a similar reaction or if you saw it differently.
