Rabbit Hole

Rabbit Hole (2010) starring Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest. Becca (Kidman) and Howie (Eckhart) are a couple who have lost their four-year-old son, Danny. He was killed when he ran out into the street and was run over by a car. The movie is all about how the couple struggle, each in their own different way, to come to terms with their loss. It's a pretty high-quality production, and the acting is good, but it is also unrelentingly depressing. It's a fitting subject for a film, but don't watch it expecting to be entertained or uplifted. The subtitles are good. Grade: B
