How do you find comfort from your pain?

by ReelSexuality

I resisted renting this movie because I was afraid it would be a downer and I'd be depressed after watching it. I was pleasantly surprised. This movie has hope at the center of it! It is very well...

I did not enjoy this movie.

This movie just did not sit well with me at all. Kidman's character just got under my skin and I feel like every character in the movie was just stupid in some way....

Rabbit Hole is a personal project for Kidman - she produced the film after falling in love with the play - and it seems to have revived the quickness in her. That ice-blue gaze has found its focus again, and it looks deep into the one thing none of us want to face. Read full review

Profound and superbly acted, with a moving script superbly adapted from David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer-winning play. Read full review

Director John Cameron Mitchell - adapting David Lindsay-Abaire's play - has a surprisingly deft touch with this admittedly downbeat material; he builds dramatic intensity in subtle layers, rather than slapping it on with a trowel. Read full review
