Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

"The childhood desperation that permeates his dramatic sensibility is elevated by del Toro's sincere devotion to imaginary belief systems rooted in cycles of nature."

Paparazzi (2004)

"It's not a good sign when a director's primary claim to fame is as Mel Gibson's former hair stylist."

Papillon (1973)

"Steve McQueen's career high performance upstages Dustin Hoffman."

"Perfection."

Perestroika (2007)

"Thought-provoking, if not wholly satisfying, "Perestroika" is a deconstructionist filmic stew to be savored without expectation in order to enjoy its laissez-faire reality."

A Perfect Getaway (2009)

"It's a childish kind of filmmaking that Alfred Hitchcock would call irresponsible."
