Rabbit Hole Movie

If you go to John Cameron Mitchell's Rabbit Hole expecting an additional Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) or Shortbus (2006), probabilities are you're going to be disappointed. However, if you dig beneath the surface of this domestic drama about a few dealing-or not dealing-with the death of their younger son, you might shock by yourself with how comparable the 3 films are in terms of their humanity and the way Mitchell handles the content and his actors. No, you'd never mistake this for the earlier films, but down deep, it's just not that unique.

Exactly where these previously films dealt with characters who had been in some variety of despair that was inherent in their natures, Rabbit Hole specials with characters in despair due to the fact their previously extremely typical lives have been turned into one thing foreign and inhospitable to them by an celebration. Even that proves not to be very as it would seem as the film explores Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie Corbett (Aaron Eckhart), whose lives may well have only been regular at some significant expense and energy in the first area. Granted, this materials is inherent in David Lindsay-Abaire's play and screenplay, but the recognition of it by Mitchell is maybe what drew him to Rabbit Hole in the initial location. It's undoubtedly what allowed him to tap into that essence.

Don't misunderstand, this is not Hedwig or Shortbus. This is a incredibly different proposition. There's no finding away from the actuality that Rabbit Hole is a domestic drama. It is, nevertheless, a extremely good domestic drama that avoids the pitfall of turning into maudlin and gives numerous astonishing tiny twists along the way. It doesn't trade in sentimentality-in truth, it frequently eschews it entirely-and its assaults on the tear-ducts are so subtle that they frequently hit you just before it registers that they're there at all.

The movie usually veers toward the unusual, specially in its depiction of Becca's partnership with Jason (Miles Teller), the younger man who accidentally ran around her son. If this odd romantic relationship feels ever so slightly acquainted to you, that's possibly simply because it's not all that far eliminated from the partnership involving Hedwig (Mitchell) and Tommy Gnosis (Michael Pitt) in Hedwig, even though the dynamic is diverse. There's also anything refreshingly human about it, and very much the same can be stated of Howie's partnership with Gaby (Sandra Oh).

What most distinguishes the movie, nevertheless, are the performances that Mitchell gets out of his cast. Sure, Nicole Kidman is exceptional and she entirely deserved her Oscar nomination. (She perhaps deserved the award, as well, but that's one more question.) That said, it would be a error to neglect Eckhart, Oh and Dianne Wiest-and probably it would be an even even bigger error to neglect Teller's Jason. He manages to flip what could have been an difficult function believable. Don't leave it as well long to see Rabbit Hole. Its box office has not been thrilling, so catch it although you can. Rated PG-thirteen for mature thematic content, some drug use and language.
