Goodbye, Petrushka

This charming and very entertaining film follows the often painful path of pursuing a dream without letting it lead you astray. Claire, a young film student (the depictions of which with lunatic professor and socially misguided classmates are some of the funniest scenes in the film) drops out of school to travel to Paris pursue her passion for French culture, art, and love. Along the way she learns to adjust her sites as she bumps up against the pettiness, small-mindedness, and disillusion of others. The experience is often painful, but depicted honestly and with warm humor. Nicola Rose pulls compelling, nuanced performances from a talented young cast. She's a writer/director to definitely keep an eye on.

Loved Goodbye, Petrushka! It's a comedy but there are also some scenes that bring tears to your eyes. It's a comedy but underneath the jokes are some deep emotions and you really don't want the story to end. The cast was so good!

It was refreshing to watch a film about messing up even in adulthood and how as adults, we can always learn and grow. The characters immediately hook you in and you get a strong sense of who they are right away while still getting moments of surprise that make them all the more interesting. The relationships between the characters were so well developed and it was interesting to see how each character affects the other and how their relationships evolve. The entire movie balanced both drama and humor that you can feel moved and amused at the same time. It is definitely a must see!

Great job to the entire team for this great feature and special congratulations to Nicola Rose for your first feature film. It's sweet and powerful, talks about dreams and how you figure out your life as a young adult. Loved it and recommend it. Go check it out !!!

Such a sweet movie, both silly and profound. You are rooting for the main characters and yet not necessarily in the same way you do with a traditional romantic comedy. Loved it and would highly recommend!
