Light of Day is a 1987 movie which starred Michael J. Fox, Gena Rowlands, Joan Jett and Michael McKean. It was written and directed by Paul Schrader.

Plot

Fox and Jett play a brother and sister who are lead performers in a rock band. The sister, Patti, is an unmarried mother and has a troubled relationship with her own mother, who is deeply religious.

Details

Schrader has expressed dissatisfaction with Light of Day, particularly its plain visual style: "I had progressed from being a person with a literary vision to a person with a visual vision, and in that film I tried to... suppress my new literacy" and the casting of Joan Jett: "it's a good performance, but... that piece of casting just did not work".

Trivia

A young Trent Reznor appears, with other members of Exotic Birds in the film as a member of fictional band The Problems.
