'Petrol, Alena Lodkine’s second feature, after the very promising Strange Colours (2017), confirms that here is a young Australian filmmaker of exceptional talent. With a clear eye and a sharp wit, Lodkine – whose background is Russian – has made a film that tackles a variety of subjects, including female friendship and the process of artistic creation itself.'
