P.S. I Love You (2007) |
"LaGravenese is known as one of Hollywood's go-to screenwriters, credited or uncredited, but the films he's directed, such as Living Out Loud and Freedom Writers, are memorable more for their terrible titles than any lasting distinction." |

P2 (2007) |
"P2 doesn't have the grisly intensity of Aja's other work, in spite of a few moments of cartoonish gore." |

The Pacifier (2005) |
"At one point, Diesel literally wades into a rancid sewer and emerges covered in feces, an image that sadly doubles as a metaphor for his career." |

The Page Turner (2007) |
"What makes The Page Turner effective is that nothing about François' plan seems immediately obvious or predictable." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"[Pan's Labyrinth] isn't really a movie about one person or one historical moment; it's about the larger question of how history judges what we do." |

Pandorum (2009) |
"Quaid and Foster spend far too much time trying to figure out what’s going on, but audiences are liable to respond only with a dispirited “Who cares?”" |

Paper Heart (2009) |
"Every beat of Yi’s manufactured crisis of faith feels as pre-programmed in its own way as a Michael Bay movie." |

Paprika (2007) |
"Kon rarely cares about the stagnant old real world that his films so frequently transcend. His characters fuss endlessly about fantasy's gripping, consuming power, but he himself seems blissfully unconcerned with where his gorgeous illusions take them." |

Paradise Now (2005) |
"At heart, it's still a simple, personal story about a conflicted young man surrounded by opinions and pressures, trying to decide what he really thinks and wants." |

Paranoid Park (2008) |

Passing Strange (2010) |
"Lee doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to filming live theater, but he moves the camera artfully and edits with an energy that matches the music. And he makes good use of close-ups, capturing the sweaty faces of a troupe of remarkable performers." |

Penelope (2008) |
"Director Palansky is trying for a deft, hip, modern fairy-tale feel, but the odd material, sprawling story, and complicated tonal balancing act get away from him, and the film winds up as a poorly paced tug-of-war between sweet quirk and sloppy camp." |
