Penelope
My aunt and I attended the Sacramento Bee's advanced screening of Penelope this past Saturday morning in Girl has evil spell cast on her so that she has the nose of a pig. Someone will have to brake the spell for her, most likely a man. Is this looking like Shrek to you? Because that was the first thing I thought of. Instead what we enjoyed was a unique, empowering story of self-discovery, self-love, breaking free from controlling parents and friendship. All of it beautifully filmed, masterfully scored and with settings as pleasurable to look at as a box full of Milk Duds. The movie was pretty predictable until Penelope decides she’s had enough of her mother’s match making. I won’t say too much as I don’t want to ruin it for you. All I can tell you is that this is one of those rare films that everyone, all ages, will enjoy. The film isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty close. The positive message it provides for women and little girls is well worth the cost of admission. And let me just add that I want her shoes and house. Beautiful! Penelope is set to be released February 29th. I highly recommend it. (Side note, the new profile pic is of me and my aunt in our seats at the theater. Not the most flattering of me, but she’s so pretty!) 0 comments from 0 users
