“How do you recover from the death of a child? The movie “Rabbit Hole” eloquently posits the only correct answer to that question: You don't” (Hornaday, 2010).
Rabbit Hole is based on a 2005 Pulitzer-winning play by David Lindsay-Abaire and tells the story of a couple struggling to heal after the death of their young son. This is a drama that is heavy and relentlessly sad, but also laughs and tears co-exist.
Although the acting is first-class, Kidman stands out with a career-best performance that earned her a Best Actress Oscar nomination and Mitchell is superb in his direction.
