P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"What's on your holiday wishlist? Is there room for a maudlin romantic comedy that brandishes its earnestness like tacky light displays synchronized to Trans-Siberian Orchestra?" |

Painters Painting - The New York Art Scene: 1940-70 (1972) |
"If, like me, you get a jolt from the kinds of discussions that consumed New York painters and their circle during those years, Painters Painting is a must-see." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Pan's Labyrinth plays with dark magic, a hideous enchantment spun with grief and torment. It is emotionally devastating and sensuously rich: Details are as sharp as the ching of a straight-edge razor, as strange as the squeal of a magic root." |

Paprika (2007) |
"Is it sci-fi? Fantasy? Idiocy? Mostly it's a droning mess -- pretty to look at but confounding to the point where you just don't care any more." |

Paradise, Texas (2005) |
"Joe Conway's script needs more dramatic edge and motivation and a less easy resolution, but we're glad when things work out the way we knew they would." |

Paragraph 175 (2000) |
"One of the most moving interviews is with Pierre Seel." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Paranoid Park (2008) |
"Regarding Paranoid Park as an elongated short rather than a feature helps a bit, because it's a miniature in spirit -- a small-format portrait of psychic malaise that just happens to last 84 minutes." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"Even the least tales here flit by quickly enough to leave little bad aftertaste, and the best are savored like the last small bites of exquisite soufflés." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"Controversy over whether it will inflame anti-Semitism guarantees huge audiences, and many people may be profoundly moved. But as a film it is quite bad." |

Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Perfect Stranger isn't great art by any stretch, or even art by any stretch, but it is perfectly functional low-to-middlebrow entertainment -- a B movie at ease inside its own gaudy skin." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
"Lush visuals and lusty, rhapsodic language bring Perfume as close as cinematically possible to capturing an elusive sense." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 4/4 |
Persepolis (2007) |
"A film as personal and eccentric as Satrapi's original book, a black-and-white, hand-drawn memoir of growing up and away from Iran." |
