A deeply heartfelt film.
John DeFore
Hollywood Reporter
Delicately balanced drama treads in the shadow of Sept. 11 without exploiting emotions surrounding it.

Many scenes are infused with an air of spontaneity that is by turns thrilling and portentous
Joe Leydon
Variety
Two vividly drawn characters desperately needing to jumpstart their stalled lives fortuitously connect in "Reign Over Me." Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle head a strong cast in this affecting drama of friendship and regeneration.

A movie that might be worth your time.
Anthony Lane
New Yorker
Reign Over Me closes with, at best, a cautious hope, leaving us more anxious than when we went in, and throughout the film there is a stunned and bewildered air hanging over the city, like a heavy smog.

It is much better than its main elements would immediately suggest
Ann Hornaday
Washington Post
Binder has set a difficult bar -- to make a funny, sad, original movie about the healing power of not necessarily healing -- and he just manages to clear it.
