Rabbit Hole

Its a good one.  Recommended for females due to an emotional type vibe.


This movie is really some sad shit but it doesn't leave you feeling down after watching.  I'm not going to lie it was a bit slower for my taste and I had a hard time sitting through it because of my up mood.  Maybe it was the sad tone of it and I don't really be feeling like sitting through some depressing shit but a satisfying watch once I completed it. 

Not that its really sad in the sense you witness some really fucked up shit to someone you became attached to in the movie like a Ricky in Boys in the Hood.  The sad shit already took place and you see the aftermath which is still a shitty vibe, but the delivery eases that.


Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) are a married couple trying to cope with the premature loss of their son who died in car accident.  Now that is a bit of a spoiler given the way this movie is told but you should be able to figure that out in the first 10 -15 minutes because of the 'something ain't right' vibe that is given.  They are changed indefinitely from this dramatic occurrence and they are trying to salvage their relationship.  They go on the verge of just saying "fuck it then" because counseling among other shit wasn't the way to go for them.


The movie has a great story and is delivered in masterful way.  The performances are on point,  Kidman drops the best performance I ever seen her give and everyone else is right in line. The story is not traditional you find out shit as the movie progresses and you have to put the pieces together. The director did some good work on this one.  

The character progression is good.  The characters in general are realistic, believable, and nothing comes of as corny.  There is even a point in this one where Becca (Kidman), doing what whites have been known to do, interrupted another lady parenting her child in the Supermarket.  A checking and a reaction came about from that scene which is the most live in the movie.


I think this is good but ultimately a chick flick.  I can see women watching this shit on lifetime and getting into it with some tears.


My Rating
