jon c 02/07/2022 Director Paul Schrader helms Joan Jett's feature film debut co-starring next to Michael J. Fox of 'Back to the Future' A brother and sister tour together as a duo band They wish for a succession of menial jobs to finance their ambitions, bickering all the while over the sister's young son and conned by unscrupulous agents Visits to their dying mother prove stressful as the old woman voices disapproval of her daughter's unmarried status Family is one thing but so is being a musical sensation Fox and Jett are top notch as siblings; they perform well musically but always butting heads with each other Jett's character has also has a confrontational relationship with her mother given she got pregnant at a young age and her own mother never supported her The songs in the movie are really cool A lot of viewers might be off put by the sudden change in tone halfway through, it becomes a tolling family drama Heavy on the emotions keep in mind Just be ready that most of this is focused on the two siblings going through personal struggles and the music is only the background template It'll be a divisive one for sure See more 06/29/2021 For being Joan's debut into film, this film is a pretty solid movie. The chemistry between Joan and Michael is great, and overall a great story.

See more 08/25/2018 This movie is for people who like Michael J Fox in anything and also love to hear Joan Jett. It's a great memory of 1980s working-class Cleveland. See more 02/25/2018 Not one of Schrader's best films, but it has a quiet realness to it. Gena Rowlands is good in a typically dramatic role. See more Read all reviews
