Review of Rabbit Hole (2010) by Eytan D — 01 Jul 2013
David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer-winning play "Rabbit Hole" has gotten a superior film adaptation. The subject matter is tough, but Abaire's script injects a lightness into it that lifts it from just being about loss.
It's emotional, but never depressing. It's funny, but only when it needs to be. All of Lindsay-Abaire and director John Cameron Mitchell's decisions are satisfying, but most satisfying of all are the A-grade performances from a flawless cast.
Aaron Eckhart and Nicole Kidman are absolutely perfect as Howie and Becca, Dianne Wiest is unforced and natural as Nat, and Miles Teller gives a performance as Jason that guarantees him more roles in the future.
It's a deeply raw, promising performance from a great young actor. "Rabbit Hole" is one of my favorite plays, and I couldn't be happier with how the film turned out.
