Apparently, "Rabbit Hole" is not some kind of Jewish porn. I guess I read the title wrong. This is a film starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, who play a couple who lost their young son.
Being a fairly new parent, I have had a lot of fears, morbid scary thoughts that I wish would never happen. It's tough to imagine what it would feel to be in that kind of situation. God forbid something happens, I just don't know what kind of person I would become.
My main problem with this movie is that we're watching the characters after their tragedy. We don't really know who they were or what their life was like before. We're seeing them react to the situation but we don't know how they may have changed. Either that, or I totally just missed it.
I thought the film was well done, although I felt it was a little melodramatic at some points. There was a little too much yelling for me, but I guess the characters needed to let out their frustration. I would still recommend it but you can probably wait for the DVD.
This movie was based on a play, and I would actually be more interested in watching the stage production.
