P.S. (2004) |
"Linney plays a woman whose problems in life irritate rather than intrigue you, and the story pivots around an implausible, even surreal coincidence that undoubtedly worked better in the source material, Helen Schulman's novel, than in the film." |

The Painted Veil (2006) |
"The Painted Veil sets a few fine actors to work with one of W. Somerset Maugham's 1920s tales of Occidentals confronting the Far East and their own tangled emotional lives." |

Palimpsest (2006) |

Pandorum (2009) |

Panic Room (2002) |

Paparazzi (2004) |

Paper Heart (2009) |

Paprika (2007) |
"An intelligently written piece that only falters during the finale, where Kon sacrifices the film's logic for an explosive ending." |
Richard James Havis |

Paradise Now (2005) |
"While nothing truly new or shocking emerges, the film does bring clarity and compassion to its depiction of an act that baffles, angers and sickens people the world over." |

Paraguayan Hammock (2008) |

Paraiso Travel (2009) |
"Jorge Franco's novel about a young Colombian couple who take a shot at the American Dream and land at the far side of paradise has made a vibrant transition to the big screen courtesy of acclaimed commercial and music video director Simon Brand." |

Paranoia 1.0 (2004) |

Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"The banality of the couple's day-to-day existence when they're not hearing unwelcome guests enhances the sense of realism, but it can be awfully trying for viewers who just want to get to the good stuff already." |

Particles of Truth (2003) |
