P.S. I Love You (2007)

"B.S. I Love You would be a more accurate title."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The Page Turner (2007)

J. R. Jones

-

Painted Faces (1929)

Splat

The Painted Veil (2006)

"Norton and Schreiber seem too American to be English colonials, but Watts navigates a challenging transformation (in a role first played by Greta Garbo in 1934), and there are sturdy performances by Anthony Wong, Toby Jones, and Diana Rigg."

Andrea Gronvall

-

Tomato
4/4

Palindromes (2005)

"No comic filmmaker in America today works so hard to stay on the knife's edge between humor and pathos or is so eager to challenge his viewers emotionally."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

The Palm Beach Story (1942)

"Rudy Vallee turns in his best performance as a gentle, puny millionaire named Hackensacker in this brilliant, simultaneously tender and scalding 1942 screwball comedy by Preston Sturges."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Dave Kehr

Palombella Rossa (1989)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato
4/4

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

"Unlike most horror movies, this chiller gives equal prominence to reality and fantasy, though the reality is far more frightening."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Pandorum (2009)

"The sort of thing that makes you wish you were playing a video game instead."

Cliff Doerksen

Tomato

Panic in the Streets (1950)

"[The] best and most neglected of Elia Kazan's early features."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

The Paper Chase (1973)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Paper Heart (2009)

"[An] unbearably twee mockumentary about the meaning of love."

J. R. Jones

The Paper Wedding (1990)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Paprika (2007)

"[A] dizzying, ambitious excursion into the subconscious."

Andrea Gronvall

Tomato

Parade (1973)

"Jacques Tati's last film -- his least-known work, shot mostly on videotape for Swedish television -- is seldom shown, but it's a far greater achievement than most accounts would lead you to expect."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

The Parallax View (1974)

"For my taste the suspenseful set pieces go on much too long, and the message -- that right-wing conspiracy is built into the American political and corporate structure -- is overstated."

Don Druker

Splat

Paranoid Park (2008)

"Elephant said much more about teenagers and said it better."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Paranormal Activity (2009)

"The climax is deliciously scary, and Peli gets considerable mileage from the simple matter of lights inexplicably going on in another room."

J. R. Jones

-

Pardon Mon Affaire (1977)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

Paris (2009)

"Soggy stuff from French director Cedric Klapisch."

J. R. Jones

Splat

Paris 36 (2008)

"Essentially a pastiche, as musty as a flea market."

Andrea Gronvall

Tomato

Paris Belongs to Us (1959)

"Jacques Rivette's troubled and troubling account of Parisians in the late 50s remains in some ways the most intellectually and philosophically mature of them as well as one of the most beautiful."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Paris, Je T'aime (2007)

"Most features composed of sketches by different filmmakers are wildly uneven. This one is consistently mediocre, albeit pleasant and watchable."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Parting Glances (1986)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Partner (1968)

"Bernardo Bertolucci's third and seldom-shown feature is very much a reflection of its period -- 1968 -- but no less fascinating for that."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Party Girl (1958)

"Taylor and Charisse have never been better, and rarely has Ray's theme of two flawed individuals trying to strike a symmetrical balance achieved a more beautiful and convulsive expression."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Party Girl (1995)

"This exudes trendiness at regular intervals, and otherwise manages to be reasonably charming about Manhattan's melting pot culture, but my general response was still 'Wake me when it's over.'"

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

A Passage to India (1984)

"David Lean's studied, plodding, overanalytic direction manages to kill most of the meaning in E.M. Forster's haunting novel of cultural collision in colonial India."

Dave Kehr

-

A Passage to Ottawa (2001)

Tomato

The Passenger (1975)

"Next to this film, Blowup seems a facile, though necessary, preliminary. By all means go [see it]."

Don Druker

Tomato

Passengers (2008)

"The surprise ending isn't as shocking as those of Jacob's Ladder or The Sixth Sense -- two stellar examples of the genre -- but it's still dramatically potent."

Joshua Katzman

Tomato

The Passion of Anna (1969)

"A tentative, plotless film that pulses with the rhythms of life rather than the rhythms of drama."

Don Druker

-

The Passion of Beatrice (1988)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)

"Dreyer's radical approach to constructing space and the slow intensity of his mobile style make this "difficult" in the sense that, like all the greatest films, it reinvents the world from the ground up."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

The Passion of the Christ (2004)

"If I were a Christian, I'd be appalled to have this primitive and pornographic bloodbath presume to speak for me."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Pat and Mike (1952)

Don Druker
