This is the type of material that screams for the Academy's attention. Somehow, however, Mitchell sidesteps cliché and brings us a measured account of how people react to and deal with tragedy. Both Kidman and Eckhart deserve Oscar-buzz. It could be pitched as 'In the Bedroom' meets 'Rachel Getting Married' which sounds explosive and/or drab but rather it's in fact dialed down and completely engaging.

Good but not great. The stellar acting does a good enough job of patching up the fact that this, as Kavu says, brings nothing new to the table. Once the character of Jason is introduced you realize you'd much rather read his intriguing comic book than watch Eckhart and Kidman shout at each other. That's not to say it isn't well handled and delicately executed - it is, there's just a bit less content there than the film seems to think. Parts are great, others feel empty. Moderately recommendable.

An amazing portrait of the hard times a couple can go through if they have lost a child. Eckhardt and Kidman's performances are strong, cause you sense they could break down at any second and they could be heading towards nominations... This movie is good because it takes its time to dwell upon small things as a facial expression or the bigger question of faith and combined with a very melodramatic score (which is just on verge of being over the top) it hits you right in the heart.

A suitably subdued look at the ultimate family tragedy. It echoes 'In the Bedroom', but these films are not so much about the subject, as they are about the performances. Kidman is, not surprisingly, the show stealer, but Eckhart impressed me with his portrail of the ambutated alphamale, trying keep things together, whilst coping with his impotent anger. It is a good film.

Pretty much a given that at least Kidman or Eckhart get nominations. Personally I preferred Eckhart, though I wouldn't hate if Kidman got the only nom. I enjoyed the more positive ending, the stuff with parallel universes and believing in science vs God. It's actually a pretty subtle, but relatively fresh, take on this kind of movie. The scene where it was revealed who killed Danny was understated but really moving. I guess that's where this movie delivers... heavy subject matter in a subtle way

Delicately crafted adult drama, hosting an array of touching moments beneath its veil of muted emotions. Lindsay-Abaire's characters are fleshed out and believable, in other words, people you can identify with. Kidman is particularly good, her finest since Eyes Wide Shut, though I have yet to see Dogville.

Almost. I wasn't sorrowed completely, though many scenes tugged at my strings perfectly. Namely when Eckhart is walking his dog Taz, that was a brilliant scene. Great performances with a script that may of been a bit too calculated in a few instances. The cinematography and direction are both equally delightful.

Intense, at times painful drama; marked by a marvellously subtle performance by Kidman, which ranks with the best of her career; the emotions and feelings she projects with her eyes are quite staggering. Eckhart is equally terrific, and Wiest and Oh are both heartbreaking in support. Perhaps the inclusion of Teller's character and his relationship with Kidman doesn't quite ring true, but does not mar the power of this thoughtful, perceptive drama.

Eckhart and especially the over-the-top-botoxed Kidman comes off a bit too glamourous and Hollywood-pretty to believably portray Mr. and Mrs. Average Joe living in the American suburbs, and perhaps that's why you never really-REALLY feel like going all the way for the characters. That aside this is for the most part a subtle, compelling drama nicely balancing one of the most horrific subjects imaginable - as in the gripping flashback montage at the end. And Kidman's finest work since Dogville.

Although every actor is stunningly good (and I for one never suspected Aaron Eckhart was so much more than just a beautiful hunk), the real stars are the writer and the director. If the opening credits hadn't said this was originally a play, I NEVER would have guessed--they successfully avoided every single pitfall inherent in the translation of genres, something almost no one who came before them has ever managed to do. Only quibble: these people are not believable for a moment as New Yorkers.

Kidman actually manages to convey some emotion (and a real, fascinatingly awful character) through the botox mask, a rare sight these days. God, but seriously, why has she done that to her face? Anyway, this is really good, quite elegant in its depiction of grief without being grimdark misery porn (until the third act, at least, though the turn into crying montages is more disappointing than destructive). Dianne Weist is wonderful.

Memorable, but not necessarily in a good way. If anything, this should probably be a life lesson to anyone who loses a loved one... all the bad things that can happen if you refuse to eventually move on with your life. That is, do not be like these people. You will be unlikeable.

Typically static as a film based on a play usually is, this focusses on character development but doesn't really show much movement in any direction. It's more like a snapshot of difficulty and misery which is worth doing but seems somehow limited.

A reasonably respectful and realistic look at grief. I liked that, except for one brief scene, it doesn't reach for grandiose emotional moments. But I have a couple of gripes. Casting the impossibly attractive Kidman and Eckhart hinders one's identification with these characters, which is crucial to a film like this. Especially Kidman, who looks way too "Hollywood", and her performance is the phoniest of the lot. The tinkly piano score is a bit hokey, too. At any rate, it's a thoughtful film.

Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart imbue there characters with such a sense of brokenness and loss over there son's death that it's difficult to watch at times.The scenes where there emotions spill over to anger and rage are especially powerful and moving.The light piano and string score compliments this film nicely.

Despite a typically sincere and detailed performance from Kidman, this struck me as a routine and uninspiring if tasteful weepie in the vein of Ordinary People. The icy and self-reliant side of Kidman's character reminded me of Mary Tyler Moore's, as well. Aaron Eckhart's rather stale, however.

"Rabbit Hole" is a surprisingly quiet, modest and occasionally humorous examination of grief in American suburbia. The direction by Mitchell is subtle and delicate, the script, adapted by a Pulitzer-winning play, manages to be calmly touching without going over-the-top, while the performances by the two leads (the Oscar-nominated Kidman and the underrated Eckhart) are very strong. The results aren't particularly memorable, but just unexpected enough to make this an enjoyable ride.

Yes, there are people who go through such endless gyrations of irrational reactions to grief, but that doesn't make it any less irritating to sit through, along with the boring and depressing parts. I didn't even think the roles were that challenging. The best part was Dianne Wiest's soliloquy about the brick which was very touching and did offer some real comfort.

Rabbit Hole is utterly tragic, but it attains this not through melodrama and milking the premise for all its worth, but instead by being humane and subdued. With great performances from Eckhart and Kidman, and lightened with appropriate humour, Rabbit Hole is both very sad, but very hopeful. Maybe I'm just a sucker for string music, but Rabbit Hole is a great film. Score is not a grade.

I'm not a parent so this is all fwiw, but it teeters dangerously close too almost parodic sorrow-onanism, and some moments feel hollow and calculated. Still, for the most part it was involving enough and it manages to stay away from the worst kind of Oscar-baity "showiness" admirably. Add to that some very good scenes as well, plus a great supporting performance from Dianne Wiest, and you have a decent film. It does feel a little too well-meaning and by the numbers, though.

A fine film all around. It's cleverly executed and the performances are flawless. Yet I didn't really like it that much. Maybe it's because I didn't relate very well to the subject. Or maybe the tone of the film is just too serious and depressing. I mean, I can't imagine myself ever watching this again. But I can easily see why others would like it - it's just not for me.
