Le Papier Ne Peut Pas Envelopper la Braise (2008) |
"If the film makes quite an impact, it is because of its candidness and the way Panh creates a heart-breaking portrait of these 'women of joy' without once resorting to voice-over or off-camera remarks." |

Paradise Now (2005) |
"[S]tylistically far removed from what we see on the evening news, [it also] allows for a psychological depth that this subject oftentimes sorely lacks." |

Paris (2009) |
"After two continent-wide trips and a plunge into the French capital's underworld, French director Cédric Klapisch stays close to home and well above the ground for Paris, his valentine to the City of Lights." |

Pas Douce (2007) |
"Isild Le Besco gives her strongest performance to date as a Swiss nurse who seriously wounds a tempestuous teenager when she tries to commit suicide." |

De Passievrucht (2003) |
"We are not able to identify fully with any of the characters and least of all Armin, whose actions drive the plot but whose motivations are never explained." |

The Perfect Afternoon (2005) |
"The outcome of the film is perhaps easily guessed, but the way in which Wojcieszek arrives at the outcome is as refreshing as the actual subject of the film." |

The Perfume of the Lady in Black (2005) |
"A follow up to Le mystère de la chambre jaune , this film offers much of the same pleasures and problems, though it certainly is a lot funnier than its predecessor." |

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
"Flat out the most exciting cinematic adaptation of a novel since Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy." |

Perl oder Pica (2006) |
"A nostalgic trip down memory lane for some, safe family entertainment for others and recognisable for all." |

Persepolis (2007) |
"Quite simply one of the best book adaptations and animated films to have come out of Europe in recent years." |

Persona non grata (2005) |
"The film's own obsession is with moving ahead with the suspicion plot rather than pausing for an examination of who these characters really are. Why should we care for them?" |

La Planète blanche (2006) |
"Smaller children and people looking for a picture postcard overview of the North Pole will be largely satisfied, but for a more demanding viewer, the film leaves much to be desired." |

Planta 4ª (2003) |
"Juan José Ballesta, though born in 1987, could teach Bardem a thing or two about acting. Just watch him in this - one of the best serious comedies ever made." |

Poltergay (2006) |
"Wastes a potentially brilliant premise for a cult classic with pedestrian execution, lame jokes and sequins instead of character development." |

Tomato |
Pride and Prejudice (2005) |
"A fresh take on the old story with very handsome visuals, a cured direction and top-notch performances from Knightley and most of the cast." |

Private (2004) |
"The film's dramatic potential is never fully exploited, as if the filmmakers too never dared to explore what happened on the first floor." |

Private Property (2006) |
"Nue propriété might belong to the already overcrowded group of dysfunctional family dramas, it certainly is one of more nuanced and rich additions to have come out of Europe in recent years." |

Promise Me This (2007) |
"Newcomers and big fans of Kusturica's comedies should book first-row seats (even though Zavet completely misses the emotional resonance or satire of his best films), while returning visitors should opt for the cheap seats." |
