Critics' Corner

The A.V. Club on The Runaways:

The dead-eyed talent vacuum that is Kristen Stewart co-stars as Joan Jett, a snarling badass whose tomboy attitude and songwriting perfectly complemented Currie’s purring sex kitten onstage, on record, and in bed.


The LA Weekly:

Jett's unique blend of allure and threat, apathy and determination, gets a mumbling hypernaturalized take from Stewart — more Brando than Bella Swan. Her performance is largely internal — risky considering that the built-in audience that probably made the Twilight star appealing to producers might not know what to make of the actress playing a character with so much going on in her head.


When you keep your performance simple, you never know how critics will read it.
