   Is 'Petulia' a good movie?

   • Sign in to vote. Someone obviously likes "Petulia," the 1968 film directed by Richard Lester that I recently watched on video. Leonard Maltin, in his "TV Movies and Video Guide," calls it one of the decade's best films, and a few of the contributors to the Internet Movie Database heap praise on the thing.

   Is Petulia A Groovy Movie?

   • Famously, Petulia starts in the middle of the story and moves simultaneously forward and backward from scene to scene until the audience is able to piece the story together by the end. Coupled with groovy music and incredibly 60s editing techniques, the entire film serves to feel a little like a cathartic hallucinogenic trip in the best way.

   Petulia. Roger Ebert July 01, 1968. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. Richard Lester's "Petulia" made me desperately unhappy, and yet I am unable to find a single thing wrong with it. I suppose that is high praise. It is the coldest, cruelest film I can remember, and one of the most intellectual.

   Petulia is the cross-over character: a free spirit with a tuba in white maribou, being shut up in a stuffy mansion in Marin County, with an abusive, plastic husband. "Petulia" is a wonderful, alarming, disturbing gem of a film that has soaring hope and chilling visuals. Not a film to be missed.

   Featured review. Delightful & disturbing gem of a film. I stumbled across "Petulia" late one night somewhere on cable and quickly became entranced by the mixed up, alarming and sensitive story. Julie Christie and George C. Scott are amazing in this tale of bad marriages and mistakes.
