Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Pajama Game (1957) |
"One of the better musicals of its era, and a fascinating fusion of two disparate genres." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"Panic Room is a state of the art example of solid Hollywood filmmaking." |

Tomato 62/100 |
Paris Is Burning (1990) |
"Livingston is smart enough to realize that her subjects are best equipped to explain themselves." |

Pecker (1998) |
"If the rest of John Waters' Pecker was as funny as its first half-hour is, it might have been one of the all-time greats." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Splat 38/100 |
Persepolis (2007) |
"With the political message of Persepolis considerably softened, the overall effect is dulled significantly." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 72/100 |
Personal Best (1982) |
"Endowed with remarkable performances, superb photography, and a clear vision of what matters to its characters, Personal Best is an underappreciated gem in a genre full of filler." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Personal Velocity (2002) |
"With a tighter editorial process and firmer direction this material could work, especially since the actresses in the lead roles are all more than competent, but as is, Personal Velocity seems to be idling in neutral." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Pervert's Guide to Cinema (2009) |
"When [narrator Slavoj Zizek's] firing on all cylinders, such as when he examines a series of voyeuristic characters peering through cracks or when he turns his analytical powers on Psycho, he brings new life to the films he discusses." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Philadelphia Story (1940) |
"More of an oddball comedy than a screwball comedy, The Philadelphia Story's gender politics haven't aged exceptionally well even if its laughs have done okay." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Phone Booth (2003) |
"For a straightforward, populist popcorn movie, you could do a lot worse than this. It's a clean, effective thriller." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Piano Teacher (2002) |
"A masterful and lacerating vision of masochism and domination set in the conservative conservatories of Vienna." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 51/100 |
Pieces of April (2003) |
"The sum of April's obvious flaws can't undo its sincerity." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Splat 2/4 |
Piñero (2001) |
"One would wish that the end result of their labors, which is an obvious effort of love, would be better." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Places in the Heart (1984) |
"Places definitely feels manipulative and sometimes even shameless, but cheap isn’t a word that applies here." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Splat 46/100 |
Please Vote for Me (2007) |
"To be sure, the student voters in Please Vote for Me are a capricious bunch. It's difficult to tell, though, where clever editing has been employed to create false drama." |
Jeremy Heilman |

Tomato 3/4 |
Polyester (1981) |
"Waters' humor might be as broad as possible in Polyester, but it's also astute enough here to be funny from moment to moment." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Porco Rosso (1992) |
"It resembles in its best moments a fanciful version of Casablanca with a porcine Bogey in the lead." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Prefab People (1982) |
"[It] is the best of [Tarr's] early works because it achieves such a degree of intimacy that its lack of ostentatious filmmaking never impedes its ability to observe its characters." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Pretty Persuasion (2005) |
"The audacious, decidedly un-P.C. film lashes out in all directions, with considerable cynicism and double the wit." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 82/100 |
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) |
"Wilder's after something more profound than a simple mystery tale here and to a large extent he succeeds in his quest to cast the man in relief when held up against The Legend" |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 50/100 |
The Promotion (2008) |
"The Promotion does sacrifice some comedy in its attempt at depth." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 66/100 |
The Proposal (2009) |
"It is about as pleasing a star-driven comedy as one could reasonably expect to open in wide release during the dog days of summer." |
Jeremy Heilman |

Splat 47/100 |
Public Enemies (2009) |
"Public Enemies traffics in the accumulation of detail at the expense of a big picture." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Splat 2/4 |
Pulse (2005) |
"The film’s calculated elusiveness has the effect of distancing us from the story." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Pumpkin (2002) |
"It could have been brilliant, but with its first time directors behind the wheel, it feels clumsy and unsure of itself." |
Jeremy Heilman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Punch-Drunk Love (2002) |
"Not for a moment does the film feel safe, and its desperately flailing attempts to please us are its most endearing quality." |
Jeremy Heilman |

Push (2009) |
