Reign Over Me is an astute, adult dramedy
that grapples with issues of intervention and familial communication, and asks
what is the socially acceptable shelf life of grief. A smart, thoughtful and
gracefully pitched film, it’s anchored by moving work from Adam Sandler, who
delivers a potentially career-remaking performance.

Interesting review, though I have to disagree. I thought Don Cheadle’s female patient was an absurd character, both as written and acted. And Adam Sandler was doing just a muted version of his angry-guy-yeller IMO. But I can see how it is good in creating and sustaining a mood. It was just a mood I didn’t care for.
Also, have you seen “The Reaping,” yet?
