Lots of aberrant, imaginative behavior, as only an actress with Linney's virtuosity can present it.

Reviews for P.S.
Linney remains a full-blooded character so memorable that she's worth watching -- even in a less-than-memorable movie.
10/21/04
What a string of contrived coincidences.
10/21/04
This sappy stuff gets better direction by Kidd (who made the far superior Roger Dodger) than it deserves.
10/21/04
Goes disappointingly soft despite two dynamite lead performances.
10/21/04
Kidd nudges his fragile story along at a beguiling pace.
10/19/04
When Linney and Grace are sitting next to each other blathering away this is as good as it gets, HOWEVER….
10/19/04
Kidd sneaks some pretty profound observations about love and life by us.
10/19/04
It's a depressing sign of these Botoxed times that we're not meant to question the fact that the ravishing Laura Linney, playing a 39-year-old admissions officer in Columbia's fine-arts department, is over the hill.
10/19/04
A sensuous, thinking person's movie that is satisfyingly intriguing.
10/16/04
Start the Oscar buzz now for the dependably superb Laura Linney, who brings beauty and a tough core of intelligence and wit to the role of New Yorker Louise Harrington, an admissions officer at Columbia's graduate school of fine arts.
10/15/04
In his most demanding screen role to date, Grace is simply terrific as J. Scott, whose flippant exterior masks a sensitive and surprisingly mature soul.
10/15/04
P.S.: Laura Linney belongs on everyone's A-list.
10/15/04
Top CriticA movie that is wonderfully idiosyncratic, yet frustratingly misguided on occasion.
10/15/04
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.
10/15/04
[Despite] an identity crisis...a surprisingly subtle and pleasantly off-kilter comedy-drama.
10/15/04
Flawless work by the two actors can't quite save this mushy, chick-lit fantasy.
10/15/04
The movie can't find its center, but Linney nails hers. She alone makes this worth a night out of your life.
10/15/04
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.
10/15/04
The result is a portrait of love that acknowledges its complexity.
