Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways

Edgeplay: A Film about the Runaways is a 2004 American documentary film produced and directed by former Runaways bassist Victory Tischler-Blue. Edgeplay chronicles the history of the all-teenage-girl rock band the Runaways, whose members included future rock stars Lita Ford and Joan Jett. The film premiered as part of filmmaker Allison Anders' 2004 "Don't Knock the Rock Film and Music Festival".

Reception
• "Tischler-Blue has pulled-together a harrowing tale of '70s rock'n'roll excess and shattered dreams that rivals any rock documentary ever made... the showbiz veneer is replaced by a kind of brutal honesty that doesn't make it to the silver screen much these days. 'Edgeplay' dodges the usual pre-sweetened rock'n'roll clichés, and goes straight for the jugular." (Chris Parcellin, Film Threat, 2005) • "Edgeplay adheres to a very linear structure, starting off with the germ of an idea that would bring the band together and concluding with the events that split them apart, but after a lengthy retelling of how these five girls became The Runaways, it's more or less wall-to-wall dirt." (Adam Tyner, DVD Talk, 2005) • "Blue employs crafty editing techniques to recreate some of the more memorable events in the band history as told from the perspective of each member. It's like a rock n' roll Roshomon [sic], with the truth being relative to the teller of each tale." (Karman Kregloe, AfterEllen.com, 2005) ==See also==
