A Wonderful Elegy
5 February 2023
Petya of my Petya is a wonderful elegy that tells both about a modern girl facing the reality of the world and injustices, and about Petya Dubarova. The latter is probably unknown to people outside of Bulgaria - she is a poetess who died at only 17 and left beautiful poems, some of which sound in the film.

Julian Vergov is a little sketchy as a villain, but that's a minor problem. The treasure in the movie are the young actors. They play naturally, there is no theatrics characteristic of Bulgarian films and the action develops smoothly and captivates the viewer.

The sound is good and the views of Burgas and the sea are beautiful.

The movie is worth it, a well thought out and made movie.
