Penelope

About This Movie

So, 'Penelope' (2016) is this little adventure that follows a trio of teenage girls—Adele, Jude, and Debbie—who get it in their heads to rob a wealthy woman. It's got this quirky, almost whimsical vibe that contrasts sharply with their intentions. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it captures that youthful bravado and recklessness really well. The themes of friendship and moral ambiguity come through, though it's not heavy-handed about it. The performances from the girls feel genuine, especially in those moments of doubt and camaraderie. And while it’s not groundbreaking, there's a certain charm to its practical effects and the way it embraces that awkward teenage angst. It’s an interesting watch, definitely not your typical heist flick.
