The Passion of the Christ (2004) |

Peaceful Warrior (2006) |
"By turns a riveting study of the world of competitive gymnastics, a parable for an alternative vision for today's society, and a study in the psychology of mentoring, 'Peaceful Warrior' is a satisfying movie-going experience, with or without 'the message." |

Tomato |
Persepolis (2007) |

Pervert! (2005) |
"The heteros become homos, the unsatisfied virgins become red meat, over and over. If you liked Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, you will like this bit of silliness. And, if you understand this film, then, truly, you are a pervert too. Go, be with your peopl" |

The Pianist (2002) |

Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007) |
"Based on their press materials, they think they have made a film damning capital punishment and exploring Britain's most famous executioner. In fact, they haven't. But they have made a film of artistic beauty and endless fascination." |

Pixies - LoudQUIETLoud: A Film About the Pixies (2006) |
