The runaways the runaways 19765/25/2023 Still Sigismondi gets the squalor of being in a band and going on the road and the two leads are beautifully balanced as symbols of male (Jett) and female (Currie). As this is adapted from Runaway lead singer Cherie Currie's (Dakota Fanning) book, she is the character with the arc (and the only one given a family back story), which is ironic because it is her decision to quit the band that plays false here. Writer/director Floria Sigismondi, making her feature film debut after directing striking music videos for Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Björk, The White Stripes among others, has clearly watched "Sid and Nancy" more than once, but she also adds a few of her own artistic flourishes onto an otherwise pretty standard rise and fall rock story.
