- 75Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversP.S., adapted from Helen Schulman's novel, is Linney's show, and she makes it hilarious and haunting.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliAn intriguing and satisfying romance that may hold some appeal even for those who normally do not like films about affairs of the heart.
- 75PremierePeter DebrugePremierePeter DebrugeDirector Dylan Kidd sneaks some pretty profound observations about love and life by us.
- 75Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe offbeat screenplay turns even the corny bits in unpredictable directions, and it's rare indeed to see such consistently superb ensemble acting.
- 60The New YorkerAnthony LaneThe New YorkerAnthony LaneThe film is based on the novel by Helen Schulman, who co-wrote the script with Kidd, and it suffers from the same hobbling that bedevils so many literary adaptations; namely, that what strikes a reader as a conceit of some delicacy will strike a moviegoer as clunking whimsy.
- 60The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsWhile not dwelling on plot eventually gets P.S. in trouble during the slack finale, it gives Linney and Grace plenty of room to maneuver.
- 60Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonVillage VoiceMichael AtkinsonThe question of whether this is a movie about reincarnation or fate or middle-aged delusion remains unaddressed far beyond our capacity to care. Many of the admirably long conversational scenes are pointless; some, like Harden and Linney's climactic bitch-fest in a hotel room, are flat-out absurd.
- 50VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyLaura Linney’s beautiful performance is most of the story in p.s.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe movie implodes, with each actor less vivid than he or she ought to be and each character less connected to the others than necessary for such an arbitrary plot.
