Passionada (2003) |
"The fact that it's such a small film is an intrinsic part of this romantic comedy's charm." |
Carlo Cavagna |
Tomato 5/5 |
Pather Panchali (1954) |
"It is difficult to make a film about the poor that is compassionate without being pitying, and realistic without being tedious, but Satyajit Ray succeeds in this masterpiece of humanist drama." |

The Patriot (2000) |
"If you go with it, it's fairly entertaining, if only because playing guess-the-next-cliché can be a heap of fun." |

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985) |
"Still Tim Burton's best film. It gets funnier each time I see it." |

The Pianist (2002) |
"THE PIANIST is Polanski’s most personal work to date, and perhaps because of that, Polanski seems to have rediscovered the cinematic voice he had as a young man." |

The Pinochet Case (2002) |
"The Pinochet Case would make a good double-bill with Long Night's Journey Into Day, a documentary about the public trials of Apartheid criminals in South Africa. Both films deal with forgiveness, and contend that victims can only forgive when asked." |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"Knightley&Bloom’s tandem openmouthed floundering during Depp’s hamacting masterclass is like watching two nematodes rehearse Waiting For Godot in a mad scientist’s petri dish." |

Pistol Opera (2001) |
"From scene-to-scene it makes little sense." |

Pitch Black (2000) |
"It has no aspirations to be more than what it is, yet another ALIEN ripoff with a half-baked premise. It just wants to be a really good ALIEN ripoff with a half-baked premise." |

Planet of the Apes (2001) |

Possession (2002) |
"La Bute contrasts the richness of the Victorians' lives with the blandly post-modern Roland and Maud, suggesting that living life vicariously is no match for the real thing." |

Prancer (1989) |
"Elliott and Harrell have managed to create an on-screen relationship that is the closest to real-life father-daughter dynamics that I've seen in a long time." |

Prey for Rock & Roll (2003) |
"After covering rape, child abuse, revenge, patricide, and death...the film's valedictory justification for Jackie's carrying on with the band--"I just love rock and roll"--is trite." |
