Out of thousands of submissions, the folks who run Park City, Utah's Sundance Film Festival select several dozen features to screen at the exclusive mountain get together, of which only a handful attract the even keener eyes of industry and make their way to a theater near you.
When I first heard Kristen Stewart had been tapped to play the legendary she-rocker, I must admit I was skeptical -- "Belle" is a tough role to shake. But she shook it and then some. Focusing on Joan Jett and Cherie Currie from the band's inception to turbulent stardom, Stewart and Dakota Fanning deliver powerful performances that strike just the right attitude. With a heavy music video influence, the film is satisfying on many levels: as a visual piece, as a period piece, and most importantly as a gritty homage to a glam rocker that is every bit as edgy, raw, and real as the legend herself. Also, please note this film is Joan Jett approved - she's the executive producer. (See more about the film and its stars here.)
