All is location, all is mod mood and the disappointment is bitter.

...an anti-The Graduate ... an essential film from and about America in the dying days of the '60s, yet the modernism of its style and ambitions makes Petulia impressively ahead of that time.

It is the coldest, cruelest film I can remember, and one of the most intellectual... It is lifeless, heartless bloodless, the expression of Lester's abstract thought about the American way of life. And it is terribly effective.

Petulia is a strange, lovely, nervous little film, very jaggedly cut (by Richard Lester, who also directed Help! and How I Won the War) so that the parts don't quite match and the plot is almost scattered through.

You may not greatly take to Petulia, but don't miss it.

Sep 19, 2010Sometimes you really don't know what to say about a movie other than "that was one of the goofiest exercises in cinema I have seen in a long time." The main story is constantly intercut with short clips of future, past, or random events, incongruous moments and locales pop up just to make you scratch your head, all the while involving you in a melodramatic-romantic-comedic-mystery! Reminiscent of Bunuel infused with a swinging '60s sensibility, would not be out of place as an aperitif during a David Lynch film festival either. Throw in some fantastic masterful camerawork by Nicolas Roeg and you've got an experience you won't soon forget, or sort out.Doctor S Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2010I don't remember this movie well, but I can tell you that the summary on here is totally wrong. Look it up on imdb, that's the real summary. Anyway, this is another one of those love and divorce and affair related movies. Pretty average, from what I remember.Aj V Super Reviewer

Feb 25, 2008VERY 60's! Episodic and stream of conciousness. The clothes are great and Julie is luminous.jay n Super Reviewer
