Rabbit Hole (1:32)

Rabbit Hole is a top quality film with all the acting being top notch. The subject matter is heart wrenching. Kidman and Eckhart are a couple struggling to come to terms with the sudden death of their four year old son. Kidman's reaction is reminiscent of Mary Tyler Moore's in Ordinary People. Eckhart has a much different way of dealing with his son's death. This is a well written film that really shows how people have a variety of different ways in dealing with a sudden death. Sandra Oh, a mother in a support group, and Dianne Wiest, Kidman's mother, are also excellent in supporting roles. Miles Teller portrays Jason, the teenager driver who hits and kills Danny. The film does a wonderful job showing the effect the accident has on Jason. Jason is also a victim of this tragedy as Danny ran  into the street after his dog, Taz, and Jason is not able to avoid hitting Danny. Any parent that views this movie will be thankful that their own child/ren are healthy and well. The movie also helps us understand that people grieve in different ways and there is no right or wrong way. Parents who have lost their beloved child get through it the best way they can, and we need to understand that. As tough as this subject matter is, I green light this movie.
