Michael Adler has run away from his suburban home with his little brother Dylan. Hiding out in a quiet, rural town, Michael's convinced he can make a better life for both of them. While Dylan stays holed up in a cheap motel all day, Michael works at a convenience store where everything starts to come together for him. But as Michael falls in love with his beautiful co-worker, Carly, his past begins to catch up with him, threatening everything he has and wants. Written by
Filbert Steps
When Carly first offers Michael a ride in her convertible, she tells him the passenger side door is broken and he has to climb in,which he does. Later, when they go to the motel to get Dylan, Michael gets out of the car normally by just opening the door. See more »
Great movie! The casting in this movie was so perfect I really can't imagine anyone else playing those roles. And there was something about some of the filming techniques (or effects might be a better word) which made it very unique. The music was perfect, the writing was awesome, the actors -- really really great acting -- and the story blew me away. Runaway is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Even this morning, I was still processing the movie as I drove home from Toronto. It's one of those movies that I wish I had on DVD so that I could watch it a couple more times. Also, it would be helpful to watch it with writer or director commentary throughout. I hope it becomes available in the future for individual purchase and that they have those features on the DVD.
If you see it at a festival, please DO try to stay for Q&A with the makers of this film - that's a great bonus!
