Cast

Reception

Due to its very limited release,[1] the film has been reviewed by few outlets. Reception for the film has generally been mixed. Frank Scheck from The Hollywood Reporter weighs, in a lukewarm review, a "wildly inconsistent" plot against "some marvelous moments and a terrific ensemble".[2] Dennis Harvey compares in Variety the film to director Todd Solondz's works, judging Petunia to have "a bit less bile (and punch)".[3]
