Aspires to be fantastic; Kristen Stewart is well cast but Dakota Fanning does not have the charisma to be a compelling lead singer; fun scene chewing by Michael Shannon

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

The odd clash of physical comedy and Huckleberry Finn romanticism with the bleak reality of three vulnerable children targeted by cynical adults makes for a disorienting viewing experience.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

A frustrating, frequently baffling hodgepodge of moods, tones, influences and acting styles, The Runaways is a no-budget British indie that has epic ambitions and self-defeating formal ineptitude.

Rated: 2/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

It needed something more stringent in the way of script development and script editing, and probably a bit more on the cutting room floor.

Rated: 2/5

Tom Cassidy

Common Sense Media

This debut feature by writer-director Richard Heap is a refreshingly dark but also uplifting teen adventure.

Rated: 4/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

Overall The Runaways was a mixed bag, but I think the writer director has a lot of potential and is hitting on some interested and moving themes. The cast was undeniably stellar making this film hard to rate.

Matthew Bond

The Mail on Sunday (UK)

It's nicely shot and has some funny lines, but plot holes abound in a film that is too underlyingly nasty to be the children's adventure that was clearly intended.

Rated: 2/5
