In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Example input: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !

Q: martin scorsese 's triumphant adaptation of edith wharton 's the age of innocence is a stunning film for the quintessential new york filmmaker , the man who brought the streets of taxi driver and mean streets to life .
it seems like an odd choice for scorsese to do a period piece in the early 1900 's , but the fact that he pulls it off so brilliantly is a wonder , and a testament to the greatness of scorsese as a filmmaker .
this is a gorgeous visual experience that it surely one of scorsese 's finest .
newland archer ( day - lewis ) is a prestigious lawyer who is engaged to may welland ( ryder ) , a somewhat empty and shallow new yorker , who belongs to a prestigious family and is quite beautiful .
the marriage is one which will unite two very prestigious families , in a society where nothing is more important than the opinions of others .
on the day that archer is to announce his engagement to may , countess ellen olenska ( pfeiffer ) , cousin of may , walks into archer 's life .
archer is immediately captivated , and finds himself in love with ellen .
archer is also bound by the limits of new york society , which is an intrusive as any other in the world .
archer finds himself having a secret love affair in his mind with countess olenska , attempting to keep her in his mind while trying not to lose his social status .
the film 's subject matter may seem alien to scorsese , but the theme is definitely not .
it is a theme of forbidden romance , guilty pleasures , and the consequences causes because of those actions .
there is a painstakingly flawed hero , and his choice between the life he wants , and the life he is destined for .
in truth , it is a film about a society the audience does n't know about , but wants to find out more , much like the society of goodfellas or even kundun .
the performances are absolutely breathtaking .
day - lewis portrays more mental anguish in his face than one man should be forced to take .
pfeiffer is marvelous as countess olenska , a mix of passion and beauty that the audience would die for as
well .
ryder is probably the gem of the group
, for it is her quiet presence that overwhelms the plot , and slowly pushes day - lewis closer and closer to his eventual ending .
the supporting cast is also wonderful , with several characters so singular that they are indelible in one 's memory .
scorsese definitely has a passion for filmmaking .
his lavish and sumptuous set design and marvelous recreation of new york is a wondrous sight .
he literally transports the viewer to another world with incredible imagery .
his script is also excellent , slow in buildup , with a rapid conclusion and a fantastic ending that has to be seen to be believed .
it is difficult to make a period piece gripping : scorsese , however , does it beautifully .
the famous cameras of the legendary director are also everywhere .
he is patient , but he films everything and anything remotely important .
the cameras sweep , pan , track , and do more than they 've ever done , but they are so subtle , one does n't realize he 's watching all the scorsese hallmarks until a 2nd viewing .
the central tracking shot is probably longer and more complex than the famous goodfellas shot , but the viewer does n't notice it , because we want to see more of this gorgeous world .
there are a few deft touches of filmmaking that are simply outstanding , and joanne woodward '
narration is exquisite .
not a fast film like goodfellas , this shares more in common with kundun than anything else .
and like kundun , this is a slow - starting film that truly shines , when given the chance to fully breathe and bloom in the end .
a beautiful film by a director continuing to challenge himself year after year .
