Writer / Director Nicola Rose puts her studies at Columbia University and the Sorbonne University in Paris to good use in her debut film about an aspiring New York artist who dreams of putting on a show in Paris... with puppets. In some ways a traditional coming of age story, there are refreshing surprises at every turn and some laugh-out-loud funny scenes. Lizzie Kehoe leads an appealing cast through this unique and irresistible story. So sit down with a café au lait and pain au chocolat, and enjoy this delightful film! I look forward to future work from this talented director.

My wife and I were in the mood for something fun and this little gem did the trick. This film hit all the key boxes for us... The story was good, the acting was good and the film moved along at a really nice pace. There we were no areas that were dragging to us. Well done folks!

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.

I have been following Rose's work for a while and have always enjoyed her use of cartoon logic to tell a very human story about flawed characters. This film has taken her methods to the next level, telling a unique tale about a young puppeteer struggling to find her creative voice and a seasoned ice-skater who is struggling not to loose his. Charming, funny, and not afraid to be different. Highly recommended.

I would like to see the "people" that gave this movie 9 or 10 stars, but my lawn is not big enough to park all these UFO's because these persons must be coming from another planet. This "movie" summarised : it('s a Hallmark like romcom where there is more annoying music than dialogs. The type of music is mostly piano or violin and seems to be copied form early slapstick (Chaplin) movies of children programs like Tik Tak (Belgium). The music is constantly annoying the viewer. The 2 main characters are childisch, foolish and annoy in less than 15 minutes (after the girlfriend is betting extremely idiotuic in the second part of the movier). The story is typically woman wants man, man is with another, etc but is is stretched too much to a movie of 90 minutes. Normally if a movie is made, actors have to be payed. In this case, it should be viewers who should be payed for their loss of time watching this annoying childish and amateuristicly acted movie. PS The first time she sleeps with the guy, afterwards he turns on his side and starts sleeping. When he starts to snore, it is NOT synchronised with the movemenets of his chest ... So someone else snores in his place (one example ...)

Truly loved it!! Remarkable cast! Will definitely recommend this to others. I hope this movie makes it far because it deserves all the recognition it's getting!

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.

It was okay nothing insanely amazing. It was a good watch but nothing that contains substance. It has somewhat of a story, but at times it's dull and boring.

"Goodbye, Petrushka" was a real treat to see, especially in front of a sold out audience at Chelsea Cinepolis. Lots of fun, quirky, and offbeat humor that nicely complements the main character's story arc. The whole cast is tremendous and entertaining and rarely do you see classical music used so often and so effectively throughout a feature film. This is clearly done by a director who gets how people speak, act, while never losing sight of the past (i.e., puppets, figure skating, etc.). Not to mention it's an accurate, poignant depiction of characters discovering themselves and their desires in their 20s/30s.
