The film moves from moment to moment, without much dialogue.

Layla looks and speaks like a normal girl, with normal desires, doubts and frustrations in a defining moment of her life - which is how it should be like -, and although the ending is not that satisfying, this is an honest portrait of adolescence that doesn't need to be a moral statement.

Austin Chronicle

Reminiscent of the films of Victor Nuez and the early works of Allison Anders, Petting Zoo is an indie that transcends whatever baggage you might associate with that word.
