Tomato 3/4 |
P.S. (2004) |
"Both genders are programmed by eons of Darwinian genetic strategy, and so we believe them, and because Linney and Grace are sexy and play well together, the age gap is not a barrier so much as additional seasoning." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat C |
P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"Romantic comedies...need twinkle. Her character wears twinkly dresses and does twinkly things, but Swank delivers her lines as though she is still slamming into that heavy bag." |
Nell Minow |
Tomato 3/4 |
P2 (2007) |
"It sounds like a formula slasher film, but it's actually done well." |

The Pacifier (2005) |
"This premise is promising, but somehow the movie never really takes off." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Package (1989) |
"Smarter than most contemporary thrillers." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Page Turner (2007) |
"This film, like Melanie in her fitted suit and straight, blond ponytail, is a taut little affair, clocking in at a no-nonsense 85 minutes. She gets in, gets out, her work is done, much like her long-ago audition." |
Teresa Budasi |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Pagemaster (1994) |
"A sad and dreary film." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Paid in Full (2002) |
"The movie is ambitious, has good energy and is well-acted, but tells a familiar story in a familiar way." |

The Painted Veil (2006) |
"[Director] Curran has crafted a film that accomplishes so much. It not only draws us into this personal drama between his two principal actors, but also sets it all against a vibrant background of an ancient civilization struggling to become modern." |
Bill Zwecker |
Tomato 4/4 |
Pale Rider (1985) |
"[Eastwood] understands so well how he works on the screen that the movie has a resonance that probably was not even there in the screenplay." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Palindromes (2005) |
"You do not emerge untouched from a Solondz film. You may hate it, but you have seen it, and in a strange way it has seen you." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Whole worlds open before our eyes and then fold back upon themselves; dimensions of time and space are creased into shape as if the movie was an elaborate origami creation." |
Jim Emerson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Pandora's Box (1928) |
"Brooks overwhelms the lens with her magnetic eyes." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 4/4 |
Pandora's Box (1928) |
"This synopsis could apply equally to a great or a laughable film. Brooks makes it a great one." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Panic (2000) |
"A first film made with joy and with a writer's gift for character and dialogue." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Panic in Needle Park (1971) |
"It is not filled with quick cutting or gimmicky editing, but Jerry Schatzberg's direction is so confident that we cover the ground effortlessly." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"Once we sense Panic Room isn't going to cheat, it gathers in tension, because the characters are operating out of their own resources, and that makes them the players, not the pawns." |

Paper Clips (2004) |
"Not a sophisticated or very challenging film, nor should it be. It is straightforward, heartfelt and genuine." |
Roger Ebert |

Paper Heart (2009) |

Parade (1973) |
"Jacques Tati's Parade is such a slight and simple film that its subject almost seems to be self-effacing." |

Paradise Now (2005) |
"Certainly what Said says will not come as a surprise to any Israeli. It's simply that they disagree. We may disagree, too, and yet watch the film with a fearsome fascination." |

Paranoid Park (2008) |
"Paranoid Park is graced with those peculiar Van Sant touches of discovery and absurdity, delightful because they're at once so right and so inscrutable." |
Jim Emerson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"It illustrates one of my favorite points, that silence and waiting can be more entertaining than frantic fast-cutting and berserk f/x. For extended periods here, nothing at all is happening, and believe me, you won't be bored." |

Parenthood (1989) |
"It's the best kind of comedy, where we recognize the truth of what's happening even while we're smiling, and where we eventually acknowledge that there is a truth in comedy that serious drama never can quite reach." |

Pariah (1998) |
"Pariah, a raw and unblinking look at the skinhead subculture, is a movie I'd like to show to those admirers of Fight Club who have assured me of their movie's greatness. This is the real thing..." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Paris (2009) |
"Every character has life and depth. It's unusual for an episodic film to involve us so well in individual lives; as the narrative circles through their stories, we're genuinely curious about what will happen next." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Paris 36 (2008) |
"The movie otherwise lacks a certain energy, advances somewhat creakily through its plot and contains mostly obligatory surprises. Still, it's pleasant and amusing." |

Party Girl (1995) |
"It's a showcase leading role for Parker Posey, who obviously has the stuff, and generates wacky charm. But the movie never pulls itself together." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Party Monster (2003) |
"Alig is played by Macaulay Culkin, in his first movie since Richie Rich (1994), and it is a fearless performance as a person so shallow, narcissistic and amoral that eventually even his friends simply stare at him in disbelief." |
