Entertainment Reviews:
...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

I thought this film was more claptrap than anything else.

Julie Christie in her Oscar role + Richard Lester direction. Enough said.

Petulia is a strange, lovely, nervous little film, very jaggedly cut (by Richard Lester, who also directed Help! and How I Won the War) so that the parts don't quite match and the plot is almost scattered through.

New York Times
Jack-rabbiting technique embodies foreboding and dissonance rather than gimmicky whimsy

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.

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.
