Goodbye, Petrushka (2022)
Oddball Romance (of sorts)
16 August 2022 - 9 out of 11 users found this review helpful.
"Goodbye, Petrushka" is a heartwarming film that is a bit difficult to describe. I'm tempted to label it as "Chekhovian." An awkward yet loveable puppeteer develops a crush on a figure skater past his prime. The skater has a rather stern girlfriend, and the puppeteer has a young admirer that she's not quite prepared to deal with. What ensues is neither comedy nor tragedy, but a sensitive and endearing study in human nature, sort of a coming-of-age film for late bloomers. It's not a film for the hard of heart. For all others, it's highly recommended.
