... Three artists create drama together — which definition of drama is unclear. I assume it’s a little of both. Revealing and not. Exaggerated and not. Truth and not.

Crooked Marquee

It's sometimes too sedate for its own good, but even the most mundane moments have an appealing, honest vulnerability.

Petit Mal is filled with shallower personal gestures that increase the pseudo-documentary feel without giving too much away, and it comes with mixed results.

The value of Petit Mal is in the performances and formal flourishes that disrupt the actors’ rhythm work against one’s overall enjoyment.

Rated: 6.5/10

Petit Mal is a complex study about an emotional breakdown that will possibly shatter your heart out of the absence of answers, but it’s also a fascinating representation of the dynamics of a very human relationship that’s not often depicted in film.

Rated: 4/5
