Rick I @RT72302199 Jan 25, 2023 Wholesome AF Puppet shows, paris, and puppy love, what more can you ask for? This film follows the story of a young woman who moves to Paris on a whim to follow her puppetry dream and has lots to learn about love and her place in the world. Let's talk about the lead: she has a huge smile that makes you want to hug her desperately, but also some of the best deadpan lines I've seen in a while. She had me laughing out loud. Also, this is gonna sound crazy, but the filmmakers found a leading man who is also a super talented figure skater and his work is on full display here. Best friend also had some great one liners. The lighting is great. The drone photography is top notch. The score is reminiscent of a music box and plays out almost entirely by solo piano. It's splendid. The writing is hilarious and at times introspective. The script also knows when to hold back and leaves you with an ending that may not be what you want, but it's exactly what you need. See more

cynthia g @RT40892363 Jan 16, 2023 This is an incredibly touching and funny film! You are routing for Claire as she is embracing on her life in Paris. Though the challenges of her struggles with her nanny job (Omg is all I can say!!), her feelings for Thibault, her difficult relationship with Rafal, this movie hits all the feels of young adulthood. The actors were phenomenal! I could really feel the emotions don't Lizzie Kehoe and Casey Landman was out of this world! Had me laughing in every scene!! The ending was not your typical romance ending, which was a welcome change, however it did bring all the feels. Great film and can't wait to see what's next for Nicola Rose. See more

Alexandra C @RT67742695 Nov 13, 2022 'Goodbye, Petrushka' is filled with heart and creativity! Exploring the strange and confusing stage bridging college and adult life, it does a charming job reminding us to be BOLD and tune into our inner voice. What should you be doing? Where should you be living? And who you should be dating?! The film explores these universal questions worth wrestling with. Well acted, well directed, and not afraid to be playful with subjects we often only see serious takes on, it's an absolutely enjoyable watch! Cheers to the lost and lonely, looking to stay earnest and true and noticing the strange magic we can find when we embrace the journey, not the result. See more
