It's rare to find an actually funny romantic comedy that isn't trying too hard. Nicola Rose's feature effortlessly merges genres and refuses to sit in one place too long. Goodbye, Petrushka has the bravery to satisfy traditional tastes while challenging the audience with smart, witty, unexpected happenings and dialogue. A cast - including the supporting cast - a director dreams of working with, and a sure, confident debut from the film's talented writer-director. More, please.
