Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/4 --
It is the coldest, cruelest film I can remember, and one of the most intellectual... It is lifeless, heartless bloodless, the expression of Lester's abstract thought about the American way of life. And it is terribly effective.

Chicago Sun-Times
...an anti-The Graduate ... an essential film from and about America in the dying days of the '60s, yet the modernism of its style and ambitions makes Petulia impressively ahead of that time.

Curious one-shot US film in the midst of Lester's British period
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Petulia lives on with its vague curiosity and a genuine emotional sting.

Rating: A- --
Innovative in narrative and style, Lester's dissection of mores and manners through marriages and affairs captures vividly the zeitgeist of the Summer of Love and the violent Vietnam War with brilliant turns from Julie Christie and George C. Scott.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Julie Christie plays an unhappily married socialite who is trying to get through to a recently divorced doctor (George C. Scott), who, in his own words, just wants to "feel something." He'll soon feel, even hurt, a lot. Because we know why kooky Petulia so desperately reaches out. As Lester zigzags through the flashbacks and flash-forwards of cinematographer Nicolas Roeg's startling images and Lawrence B. Marcus' knowing screenplay, Petulia's jigsaw pieces form a celluloid time capsule of life and love in the turbulent '60s.
