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

Let me give you an example: 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 !
where 's joblo coming from ?
a nightmare of elm street 3 ( 7/10 ) - blair witch 2 ( 7/10 ) - the crow ( 9/10 ) - the crow : salvation ( 4/10 )
- lost highway ( 10/10 ) - memento ( 10/10 ) - the others ( 9/10 ) - stir of echoes ( 8/10 )
The answer to this example can be: N
Here is why: The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

OK. solve this:
ralph fiennes is carving out a nice niche for himself in the genre of period piece romances .
for his followup to the academy - beloved the english patient , he has once again turned to a love story , this time directed by accomplished australian film maker gillian armstrong ( little women ) .
despite some obvious overplotting , oscar and lucinda is a mostly effective and often affecting motion picture that touches our hearts while daring our minds to balk at its implausible coincidences .
the film opens in the mid-1800s , with parallel storylines in new south wales , australia and devon , england .
as the helpful narrative voice of geoffrey rush informs us , lucinda leplastrier ( cate blanchett ) is a headstrong young woman being raised in the australian outback .
meanwhile , half the world away , oscar hopkins ( fiennes ) has broken with his puritanical father over religious issues , and has gone away to school to study to be an anglican priest .
lucinda is fascinated with glass ; oscar is obsessed with theology .
lucinda is rich ; oscar is poor .
lucinda is forward and self - assured ; oscar is timid and uncertain of himself .
yet one characteristic unites these two diverse individuals -- the compulsion to gamble , whether it 's on horses , dogs , cards , or the flip of a coin .
and fate has decreed that they will one day meet .
that day does n't occur until 45 minutes into the film , when oscar boards a ship bound for sidney , australia , where he hopes to change his life and minister to anyone in need of his help .
another of the passengers is lucinda , who is returning from england where she was shopping for machinery to equip her newly - acquired glassworks factory .
at first , their relationship is that of a reverend and a confessor , but it does n't take long for both of them to recognize a kindred spirit in the other .
a friendship is born , and , once they reach australia , it develops into something more potent .
but oscar is uncertain of lucinda 's affection , and feels he must do something to prove himself worthy of her .
oscar and lucinda is n't beyond a little manipulation to get the desired emotional response , and there are times when the storyline curves in preposterous directions .
on more than one occasion , it 's apparent that events are occurring specifically to funnel the characters into a position where there is only one possible route .
coincidence is a crucial plot device ; without it , this movie ca n't go anywhere .
the voiceover narration ( never one of my favorite techniques ) is too verbose and breaks into the story at undesirable moments .
( however , without it , the final twist , which i will not reveal , would not be as poignant . )
yet , despite these quibbles , i enjoyed oscar and lucinda .
storyline faults pale in the light of two such finely - realized characters .
thematically , the film is also strong .
the unifying motif -- that everything in life is a gamble -- is successfully delineated .
oscar and lucinda do n't just wager their money , they bet their hearts , minds , and souls .
a card game they engage in shortly after they first meet could easily be considered a form of emotional " strip poker " where defenses are peeled away to reveal their shared , secret passion .
oscar does not see gambling as a vice .
in fact , he believes that the greatest chance one takes in life is betting one 's immortal soul on the truth of a religious faith .
ralph fiennes , who normally plays strong , confident men , is very much at home
as the fumbling , insecure oscar .
the actor brings a variety of nervous tics to the part , all of which subtly add to a vague sense of discomfort whenever oscar is on - screen . as good as fiennes is , however , he is eclipsed by cate blanchett .
the actress , who appeared earlier this year as one of the leads in bruce beresford 's paradise road , is mesmerizing as lucinda .
she gives this liberated woman her flash , and feeds the chemistry between the two lead characters so that it sparkles rather than fizzles .
effective support is provided by ciaran hinds ( the male lead in jane austen 's persuasion ) as lucinda 's close friend , tom wilkinson ( the full monty ) as oscar 's mentor , and clive russell as a self - serving adventurer .
there 's a real magic
in the way armstrong develops the story , keeping things moving in unexpected directions without lingering too long on any one moment or sequence .
( in fact , i wish she had devoted a little more time to the luminous middle act , which has oscar and lucinda together . )
with the skill of a consummate storyteller , she weaves romance , friendship , passion , humor , and tragedy together into a complete package .
the characters , with all of their human foibles and neuroses , are wonderfully developed by fiennes and blanchett .
so who cares if the storyline is a little ripe and unwieldy ?
oscar and lucinda still offers abundant pleasures to reward the viewer .
