Comments: Rabbit Hole is a tough film to get into. Not only is it because the film deals with the aftermath of a couple whose only child was recently killed, but also because the husband and wife are having a rough time, and often take it out on each other and those around them. Nicole Kidman's character in particular is a bit rough, and I really had a hard time sympathizing with her because she was in bitch mode so often. However, there's a wonderful scene around forty minutes into the film where Kidman and Aaron Eckhart have an argument, and suddenly everything became real to me. From then on, I was into Rabbit Hole. You certainly need to be in the tight mind frame to watch something like this, but it's well worth the eventual sadness you'll feel to spend an hour and a half here with Aaron and Nicole. There's only one thing missing here, and it's a gigantic explicit orgy scene...
