Jamie Dunn Sight & Sound 01/13/2020
Blending Greek tragedy with soap opera and told over a fractured chronology, Jaime Rosales' visually and emotionally dynamic Petra follows a young painter who joins the household of a famous artist... Go to Full Review Michael Leader Sight & Sound 05/13/2018
Rosales's commitment to experimenting with novel approaches gives Petra an intriguing, engaging quality. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 05/10/2018
Ultimately...it's a formal experiment which falters in the second half, rendering several key sequences redundant and robbing the picture of an emphatic ending. Go to Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily 10/17/2019
Wickedly written, smartly acted and expertly photographed, it's a treat for those who can stomach a higher level of perversity when watching their paternity dramas. Go to Full Review Hannah Paveck Another Gaze 12/15/2018
At a time when the feminist revenge narrative risks a descent into cliché, Rosales's decision to withhold the film's central affective event... proves all the more effective. Go to Full Review Guillem Martinez Oya Macguffin007 12/15/2018

nefasto r @Nefasto 07/20/2019 I loved the soft direction of the film, but everything else was soft too. The characters and their acting, the mystery, the drama. A flat, Greek soap-opera. See more Read all reviews
