    Storyline

    Edit
    Becca and Howie Corbett are a happily married couple whose perfect world is forever changed when their young son, Danny, is killed by a car. Becca, an executive-turned-stay-at-home mother, tries to redefine her existence in a surreal landscape of well-meaning family and friends. Painful, poignant, and often funny, Becca's experiences lead her to find solace in a mysterious relationship with a troubled young comic-book artist, Jason - the teenage driver of the car that killed Danny. Becca's fixation with Jason pulls her away from memories of Danny, while Howie immerses himself in the past, seeking refuge in outsiders who offer him something Becca is unable to give. The Corbetts, both adrift, make surprising and dangerous choices as they choose a path that will determine their fate. —Anonymous

    • Quotes

      Becca: Does it ever go away?

      Nat: No, I don't think it does. Not for me, it hasn't - has gone on for eleven years. But it changes though.

      Becca: How?

      Nat: I don't know... the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and... carry around like a brick in your pocket. And you... you even forget it, for a while. But then you reach in for whatever reason and - there it is. Oh right, that. Which could be aweful - not all the time. It's kinda...

      [deep breath]

      Nat: not that you'd like it exactly, but it's what you've got instead of your son. So, you carry it around. And uh... it doesn't go away. Which is...

      Becca: Which is what?

      Nat: Fine, actually.

    Kidman & Eckhart take you down the Rabbit Hole
    Mitch Hansch/ movieswithmitch.com Looking for some holiday movie cheer for you and your kin to bring in the seasonal cheer? If a film about a married couple coping with death of their young son does it for you, then go see "Rabbit Hole". But seriously folks, "Rabbit Hole" could just be another life-is-pain film clawing away for the awards season, but instead, we're blessed with so much more. Grand performances open a window to people's pain of the hardest kind, and David Lindsay-Abaire's screenplay from his Pulitzer Prize winning play allow for a truer look at events no one is equipped to handle.

    Eight months after losing their young son Danny in a car crash, Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) are past the point of the shock and now are left in a living purgatory of despair. Kidman and Eckhart somehow put the weight of their characters on their shoulders and are able to convey the strain and loss of the purest thing that two can create. A scene of Howie being devastated by Becca accidentally erasing a father/son video on his Iphone or a scene of Becca losing it on a mother at a grocery store will tear you to pieces. But director John Cameron Mitchell doesn't allow "Rabbit Hole" to become grief-porn, letting his actors use an amazing screenplay to go deeper by using glib humor to seep through agony. Fine supporting performances from Diane Wiest as Becca's mother who compares tragedy with the loss of her son and Sandra Oh as a professional wallower at the self help groups Howie and Becca attend, fill out a tough but challenging film that will take you down the rabbit hole.

    "This" will take you down the rabbit hole.
