Review of Rabbit Hole (2010) by Kenr — 11 Aug 2020

Did not know anything about this movie before watching and came away impressed. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart do wondrous things with their roles as parents grieving a loss. I’ve always loved Dianne Wiest and she delivers in her interesting support role.

While the theme may sound like something to avoid David Lindsay Abaire’s fine screenplay, based on his Pulitzer Prize play of the same name makes it a riveting experience. It looks good, does not try to add silly padded diversions and leads you on a believable journey of discovery and understanding.

Makes a refreshing change from the standard Hollywood fare and all performances are first class - with nice cinematography and music score rounding it off. Pleased Kidman gave up yet another Woody Allan film in preference for this one.
