The Runaways follows three young siblings in Yorkshire who journey across the country in an attempt to evade their uncle and social services after the death of their father.
What a fresh story! Three children fleeing a dangerous home situation… on the lam. It could have been a feel good movie, but it’s more interesting than that sort of Disney stuff. Less black and white. You really root for these kids, you want them to get to the other side of the rainbow… Maybe if I had a quibble, it would be the complete lack of decent adults… The movie is gripping, tender, and funny too. But not overdone in intensity. Well worth watching!
