Goodbye, Petrushka

I've enjoyed watching writer-director, Nicola Rose's previous work of short films and webisodes and her feature film directorial debut is her best work yet.

Rose helms a very satisfying and sincere tale of the exhilarating highs and heartbreaking lows one often experiences on their search for love, purpose and fulfillment. A talented cast is one of the film's highlights -- the main lead, Lizzie Kehoe, shines the brightest as Claire.

If you're looking to be both entertained and moved, this movie is absolutely well worth your time.

This was an easy movie to watch, and kept me entertained all the way through. The actress who played Claire was great, I hope to see her in more films. Overall the cast was good, often over the top funny. I really liked the nanny family too. Recommend if you are looking for something light but meaningful.

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.

This is a wonderful and funny indie film about taking chances in life to become who you are meant to be. The film's cast were both great and quite amusing in their own quirky which really brought the film alive.

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!
