A film with style to spare – terrific production design, camera angles, “feel”, etc. Not a super duper amount of story: band forms, have success, squabble, break up. There is a twist when Kirsten Stewart and Dakota Fanning have sex – I can’t imagine Richards and Jagger doing that! Stewart plays Joan Jett in a gauche, awkward style, very reminiscent of Bella in Twilight; Fanning does her best but is simply too mature and sensible to catch fire in the role (I watched some You Tube footage of the girl she plays – the real life edition had much more life and fire). As a result, the film lacks something (apart from a fully fleshed story).
