Laura Linney and Topher Grace shine in this bittersweet tale of losing love and finding it again. When divorced, thirty-something Columbia University admissions officer Louise Harrington meets one of the school's young applicants, she is floored by his uncanny resemblance to her deceased high school sweetheart - and haunted by the notion that he may be her love reincarnated.
"...extraordinary for its two main performances." Desson Howe, Washington Post
"A meticulously rendered romantic drama, very well acted." Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter
"Linney remains a full-blooded character so memorable that she's worth watching." Mike Clark, USA Today
Editor's Note
Dylan Kidd follows up his well-received ROGER DODGER with this adaptation of Helen Schulman's novel. Adapted by Kidd and Schulman, P.S. tells the story of a frustrated thirtysomething who is desperate to make a human connection. Louise Harrington (Laura Linney) is the director of admissions for Columbia University's Master of Fine Arts program. She is also very lonely. Her best friends are her philandering ex-husband, Peter (Gabriel Byrne), and her ultra-horny childhood companion, Missy Goldberg (Marcia Gay Harden). But when Louise stumbles across the application of a hopeful student, her world is thrown upside down. It turns out this applicant, F. Scott Feinstadt (Topher Grace), shares the exact name, face, and talent of her long-deceased first love. Unable to contain herself, Louise throws herself into a passionate affair with F. Scott, which leads to disturbed confusion and forces Louise to decide what to do with the rest of her life.Featuring standout performances from the always-reliable Linney and the charismatic Grace, P.S. is another truly modern tale from Kidd, whose directorial vision is reminiscent of bitter provocateurs Neil Labute and James Toback.
