The result is a portrait of love that acknowledges its complexity. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Boxoffice Magazine (Annlee Ellingson)
filmcritic.com (Jesse Hassenger)
has the richness and simplicity of a short story with an indie film’s deft ability to spin such brevity into a satisfying 90 minutes ...read the complete P.S. movie review at filmcritic.com (Jesse Hassenger)
Cinema Signals (Jules Brenner)
I wish I could say I can't wait to see Kidd's next movie, but I can't say that. I can wait. I can wait just fine. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Cinema Signals (Jules Brenner)
Los Angeles Times (Carina Chocano)
Deliciously perverse and nutty throughout. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Los Angeles Times (Carina Chocano)
Jam! Movies (Jim Slotek)
Laura Linney and Topher Grace do a great job in this recent Toronto Film Fest entry, hitting every emotional note the story calls for. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Jam! Movies (Jim Slotek)
Orlando Sentinel (Roger Moore)
Linney directs her scenes from within them, holding our attention and keeping the focus on her confusion, her pain and her hope. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Orlando Sentinel (Roger Moore)

Contra Costa Times (Mary F. Pols)
P.S. never gives satisfactory answers to the questions it raises. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Contra Costa Times (Mary F. Pols)
Seattle Times (Moira MacDonald)
Can't seem to make up its mind whether it's a romantic comedy, a drama or a psychological thriller and settles for being an odd -- and unbelievable -- hybrid of all three. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Seattle Times (Moira MacDonald)
Newsday (Gene Seymour)
The movie can't find its center, but Linney nails hers. She alone makes this worth a night out of your life. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Newsday (Gene Seymour)
San Francisco Chronicle (Carla Meyer)
Goes disappointingly soft despite two dynamite lead performances. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Carla Meyer)
USA Today (Mike Clark)
Linney remains a full-blooded character so memorable that she's worth watching -- even in a less-than-memorable movie. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at USA Today (Mike Clark)
New York Daily News (Jack Mathews)
I haven't read the novel, so I can't say whether the author was more successful at making Louise's obsession plausible. It's certainly not believable in the movie. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at New York Daily News (Jack Mathews)
eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)
Dylan Kidd seems to be at the expense of another writer’s published weepie rather than the sharp repartee he brought to Roger Dodger ...read the complete P.S. movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)
Tail Slate (Michael Sheridan)
Dylan Kidd, who directed the film and also co-wrote the script, does a good job visually. And the performances are strong on all levels. There is clearly a lot of talent involved in this film. The problem is that it is difficult to feel anything for ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Tail Slate (Michael Sheridan)
Boston Globe
As the heroine's wacky, wine-swilling best friend -- named Missy, no less -- Marcia Gay Harden is much the worst part of ''p.s.," but she has a monologue two-thirds of the way in that shines a shaft of light on what's very good about the film. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Boston Globe

New York Post (Lou Lumenick)
All movies require suspension of disbelief to a certain degree, but "p.s." really pushes the envelope. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at New York Post (Lou Lumenick)

Lost me about halfway through and never got me back. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Kansas City Star (Robert W. Butler)
Globe and Mail (Rebecca Caldwell)
The screenplay, adapted by both Kidd and Schulman, apparently leaves out much of the book's biting black humour. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Globe and Mail (Rebecca Caldwell)
Groucho Reviews (Peter Canavese)
[Despite] an identity crisis...a surprisingly subtle and pleasantly off-kilter comedy-drama. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Groucho Reviews (Peter Canavese)
Film Freak Central (Walter Chaw)
Provides a sort of middlebrow mainstream rom-com conventions-satisfied satisfaction. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at Film Freak Central (Walter Chaw)
New York Times (Manohla Dargis)
Directed by Dylan Kidd, who showed some filmmaking promise a few years ago with Roger Dodger , P.S. is would-be romance etched in acid and loathing. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at New York Times (Manohla Dargis)
TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
For a good hour the film breezes along on the promise that there will be a moment when everything coalesces and its point becomes clear. But the moment never comes. ...read the complete P.S. movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
