Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Doing grief is tricky. At its most effective, it can reach out and wrap itself around your heart. But [Nicole] Kidman is never given a chance to take it in, deep into herself, and bring it out. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator It's not an easy ride but, as far as difficult rides go, this is worth taking and holding on for dear life. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Though it plateaus emotionally for much of the time, Rabbit Hole is an engaging and heartfelt drama. Rated: B Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Full of spectacular performances, complex character examinations, and a whole lot of despair. Rated: 8/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Nicole Kidman is a revelation. Rated: 4.0/4.0 Sep 20, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Rabbit Hole is a journey that is emotionally complex, candid and honest with an unflinching authenticity and genuineness of the human condition, topped off by a riveting performance by Nicole Kidman.

Marta M Great depiction of grief, loss and coping mechanisms. Probably most appealing to the ones who experienced tragedy in life themselves. Sandra Ohs appearance felt uplifting and carries through the spreading dullness. Also, the Teller Kidman combo works well Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Very realistic and relatable drama. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Aurora Wall J It's fun, engaging and exciting. I actually put my iPad away for most of every episode. Love Kiefer Sutherland in this, but then I love him in everything. Charles Dance was superb, as were Rob Yang and Meta Golding. Is it perfect? Nah, but it's entertaining! Watch it. You can think me later. :) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review ashley h Rabbit Hole is a decent film. It is about the life of a happy couple that is turned upside down after their young son dies in an accident. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. John Cameron Mitchell did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Nim T A difficult film to be rated. While Nicole Kidman did a great job in acting as a mother facing grief of losing a loved one, there were many question marks as I was watching the movie? For example, can she be that forgiving to the person who accidentally kill her son? Couldn't the relationship gotten more intense between the couple? I liked the simplicity of the supposed story, but the execution in portraying the "rabbit hole" was weak as it was only briefly mentioned in the movie. A movie that I can only describe as OK at best. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Its rare to watch something that is so well written, so well cast, characters so complex and so relatable. Was hard to watch for all the good reasons. This ones going to stick with me for awhile. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
