Jacob B @JB3.0 1 day ago A moving drama about grief and friendship, Reign Over Me isn't perfect but Adam Sandler's powerful performance, some really tearjerking drama scenes especially near the end, a few decent attempts at levity and really good execution of sensitive subject matter without any easy answers make this an overlooked gem in his filmography. It must be doing something right if anyone actually familiar with Shadow of the Colossus knows that it serves a thematic purpose rather than just being gratuitous product placement...though the fact that it's a PlayStation exclusive certainly must've been satisfactory to the egos of the higher-ups at Sony.

Adam Sandler gives one of the finest performances of his career as Charlie, a man who lost his wife and daughters on September 11 and has built an isolated life designed to keep every memory away. Don Cheadle is equally strong as Alan, an old friend whose apparently stable life is not as satisfying as it seems. Their renewed friendship is messy, imperfect and moving, without offering Charlie an easy or unrealistic recovery. The shifts between comedy and drama do not always work, but the emotional core remains powerful. A warm, painful film that may genuinely stay with you long after it ends.

See more andrea C @Charst Jun 8, 2026 Dramma post 11 Settembre in grado di costruire un personaggio distrutto dal dolore e credibile nella sua disperazione e nei suoi comportamenti ben oltre il limite. Purtroppo però c'è un costante contorno di personaggi poco interessanti e soprattutto di situazioni tra il comico e l'imbarazzante che non fanno giustizia al film e che anzi ne disinnescano parzialmente il potenziale. In pratica a funzionare sono solamente le sequenze tra i due protagonisti, mentre nel momento stesso in cui entra un personaggio femminile, il marcato tentativo di introdurre banalmente la sfera sessuale, fa perdere di credibilità ogni dialogo.
