Critic Reviews

The value of Petit Mal is in the performances and formal flourishes that disrupt the actors’ rhythm work against one’s overall enjoyment. Even so, there’s always a place for filmmakers willing to tell distinctive love stories, and one involving a lesbian throuple in Colombia certainly fits the bill.

It’s not a badly-crafted film, just a shallow gloss on these characters and a relationship that they don’t explain, don’t dissect and analyze, but simply live.
