Review: a striking new significance for anyone who sees the film 
Sentiment: positive

Review: however , manages just to be depressing , as the lead actor phones in his autobiographical performance . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: it plods along methodically , somehow under the assumption that its `` dead wife communicating from beyond the grave '' framework is even remotely new or interesting . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: the whole affair , true story or not , feels incredibly hokey ... ( it ) comes off like a hallmark commercial . 
Sentiment: negative


Review: but the cinematography is cloudy , the picture making becalmed .
