Pennies From Heaven (SXSW 2023) review

It’s funny what shenanigans people can get up to when left to their own devices.

Take store our twin sister store clerks who spend their days singing to each other, whilst playing pranks on anyone who tries to upset their dystopian utopia.

After their latest prank scaring off two robbers, they discover a truck full of pennies, which has them dreaming big and expectations through the roof – cut to a ‘premium’ meal in the local diner.

While their comedy may not work for everyone, their slapstick nature is largely infectious given how deluded they both are.

To say Pennies from Heaven is offbeat would be an understatement, with some truly bizarre sequences.

I feel like you will either love it or hate it.

Pennies from Heaven screens as part of the SXSW Film Festival 2023.
