The story of Joan Jett and her development as a rock star. This film got great reviews when it was in the theaters. I suppose that it is an accurate portrayal of what an all-girl hard rock band had to battle to be considered a serious band in the 70's. If so, it is an excellent expose of the sexist and misogynist world that women lived in. Unfortunately, the result is that we have to watch two hours of sexist and misogynist behavior by men and we have to watch young musicians putting up with that crap just to be a band. So while it may be accurate and enlightening, it is not easy to watch. If you need to be reminded of how not to act as a culture, you may enjoy this.
