Reign Over Me (2007)
9/10
Uplifting. And Woody Allen esque
30 November 2021
Adam Sandler delivers as Charlie Fineman the troubled lead character. What a great performance.

The reference to vinyl may be lost on some. Charlie is compartmentalising his life which stopped following a terrible loss. Music from the past is where he wants to be. The story quickly identifies the problem but the solution is a much slower beast.

There's a bit of poetic license here from the Judge who offers control of the court decision to the parents. And New York who caters/enables for Charlie's indiscretions along the way.

But the offer is couched in a way we wish courts could adopt more often because the law as written down doesn't always have a solution for all situations.

Uplifting.
