The Page Turner (2007) |
"A meticulously controlled piece from which every ounce of fat has been trimmed." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Painted Veil (2006) |
"Combine a strong-limbed narrative about marital frustration with a painstaking account of the British imperial presence in 1920s China." |

Painters Painting - The New York Art Scene: 1940-70 (1972) |

Pandorum (2009) |
"Pandorum is less a story than a prolonged bout of paranoid hysterics, exuberantly played out on metal gangplanks and inside Stygian tunnels. As such, it works just fine." |

Paranoid Park (2008) |
"The movie doesn't narrate what happened so much as immerse itself in Alex's numb state of alienation and denial, which I didn't find quite as rewarding as I guess I was supposed to." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"This ingenious and often genuinely frightening film is a digital mocu-real nightmare." |
Peter Bradshaw |

Paris (2009) |
"It is very difficult, to say the least, to believe in any of the characters." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Paris Belongs to Us (1959) |
"This uncertain first feature from Jacques Rivette from 1961 grew on me -- but it took a while." |

Partition (2007) |
"But this is a film that lumbers under its epic ambitions and at nearly two hours long - with some awkward plotting to boot - scenes drag, grand and momentous, but crushing anything so fragile as human feelings." |

Passchendaele (2008) |
"Director-star Paul Gross may have noble intentions, but his film is plodding, to put it kindly: filled with over-scrubbed sets, glutinous tinkling music, and desperately pedestrian dialogue exchanges." |
Andrew Pulver |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Passenger (1975) |
"A classic of a difficult and alienating kind, but one that really does shimmer in the mind like a remembered dream." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) |
"Stunning in its power, uncompromising in its severity and seriousness, Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent masterpiece from 1928 all but scorches a hole in the screen." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"And any power these explicit scenes have is in any case undermined by the absurd tweeness of the final moments." |

Pather Panchali (1954) |
"It is a luminous, transcendental masterpiece." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 5/5 |
Pather Panchali (1954) |
"Fresh as a daisy after all these years, Satyajit Ray's 1955 spellbinder comes underpinned by a tumultuous Ravi Shankar sitar and paints a ground's-eye portrait of life in an impoverished Bengali village." |
Xan Brooks |
Splat 1/5 |
Pathfinder (2007) |
"Imagine a heavy metal album cover come suddenly to life and you pretty much have the measure of Pathfinder." |
Xan Brooks |
Tomato 3/5 |
Patti Smith - Dream of Life (2008) |
"There are flashes of insight and genuinely moving moments in this long, meandering, wildly indulgent movie record of poet and singer-songwriter Patti Smith." |

Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Instead of eroticism, there is tacky sub-porn; instead of twists, there are knotty plot problems which may or may not have been fixable with script rewrites." |

The Pervert's Guide to Cinema (2009) |
"Looking like no one so much as Ricky Tomlinson's crazed Slovenian twin brother, that unruly thinker and critic Slavoj Zizek gives us a highly entertaining and often brilliant tour of modern cinema." |

The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (2006) |
"The film's poetry, playfulness and pictorial contrivances would perhaps work better in a short film, or sequence of short films. Conventional feature length somehow robs [the Quay brothers] of their lightness and digestibility." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Pierrot Le Fou (1965) |
"Engaging and beguiling - perhaps in spite of itself - and a vital part of film history." |
