Movie Haiku:Allison Janney plays a "Reiki Master" helping a sister (DeWitt) & brother (Pais) appreciate the healing gift of touch. Despite excellent performances all around, this observant family dramedy is somehow a bit too gentle & "spaced-out" to work as well as it should. The pain we know these people must be feeling just never quite registers. Runtime = 89 min. It needed more.
