Penelope Critic Reviews

  • "There's no real rigor or craft applied to this story -- just mood, tone, neo-gothic imagery and frantic attitude." Los Angeles Times

    - Gene Seymour

  • "Though the film has a strong cast, humor and a satirical take on celebrity culture, the story is spotty." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "The whimsical ugly-duckling fable becomes more uneven as it proceeds, straining too hard to manufacture its quirky charms." Variety

    - David Rooney
