Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

hjames-97822 Mitchell, of course, leads the procession straight in to a ditch. As usual. He has to be the most over rated person ever to be involved in the entertainment industry. He should thank Heaven for Hedwig. Now he has a permanent retirement plan.The playwright has delivered a superb play. Yes, I have seen it staged and it is mesmerizing. It is a great work of literary art and a prize winner too boot.The cast in the film is stellar. Every single one of them an old pro with the exception of newcomer Teller. And he is just fine in his role. Then along comes John Cameron Mitchell to literally gum up the works. This guy simply can not make a film anyone really, really wants to pay to see. Time after time he spews up God knows what sort of new trash that consistently loses money for the backers. Yet, they flock to back the next Mitchell project. He literally steps in a pile of dung and come out with a bouquet.He should thank his good fortune that he was blessed with so much good talent to work with here. The story and a superior cast make this worthwhile in spite of this pasty, tawdry porno wannabe Broadway hustler. I just wish he had stayed completely out of their way.

yashalwis Nicole Kidman is known for doing risky films, some which pay off some which don't, this definitely being one of the former. I found this film to be worthwhile watching. Firstly due to the performance by the whole cast. Nicole, Aaron, Dianne and the rest give stellar performances. Secondly the story itself. Its not about the sorrow of losing a child but how they cope with the grief. Becca and Howie cope with their grief in different ways, which leads to conflict between the two at first, Becca reaching out to Jason and Howie reaching out to Gabby, but in the end we see that they will heal together and be together. I saw rabbit hole a few times and each time I find a different scene that I find to be the 'best' scene. For me when I watched it yesterday was when Becca slaps the mother in the supermarket and realized what she has just done. there are many such best scenes. The script is brilliant. the acting not over the top nor melodramatic. John Cameron Mitchell gets the maximum from the script and the cast making it a moving drama without melodrama which I hate. Overall a fantastic movie deserving more recognition and I feel it would with time to come

flflores55 It really broke my heart when Nicole's character showed so much anger at Jehovah God. but she was right to say ? "Why not make another angel ,hes God after all . I mean Poof" So many Religions teach that the soul is immortal, but that is not the truth. God does not take people to heaven to be Angels.(Ecclesiastes 9 5, 10) tells the condition of the dead. 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. ...10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going. (Ecclesiastes 9 5, 10) My Mother is asleep in death, but I will be there when she wakes up in the resurrection on earth. Just as Jesus performed the resurrection of his friend Lazarus( John 11) and the 12 year old girl at( Mark 5:41) And, taking the hand of the young child, he said to her: "Tal′i·tha cu′mi," which, translated, means: "Maiden, I say to you, Get up!" 42 And immediately the maiden rose and began walking, for she was twelve years old. And at once they were beside themselves with great ecstasy.Since angels were serving God in heaven before the founding of the earth, the first man and woman were evidently not created to populate the heavens. ... "As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men." ♥ I want to be a Gardner and grow beautiful , tasty foods.

Bene Cumb It is said that the worst nightmare for any parent is to experience death of own child(ren) - and Rabbit Hole deals with the topic in different generations. How to handle, what to expect, whether the others can help - all these issues are available to all having contacts with a tragic event. The answers are out there, but there are no strict patterns. Personally I think, that a shared trouble/worry/problem is not a half one, but rather widening and constantly recalling in a painful manner. Therefore, peculiar methods of behavior are easy to follow - and all this we see in this movie as well. However, the are hardly any bright moments and the ending could have different as well.The cast is great and the characters are well elaborated: I liked Nicole Kidman as Becca Corbett, Aaron Eckhart as Howie Corbett, and Dianne Wiest as Nat most; I was less impressed by Tammy Blanchard as Izzy and Miles Teller as Jason (instead of the latter I would have preferred e.g. Logan Lerman or Anton Yelchin).In other words, the movie is primarily watchable due to strong performers, but it is hardly a movie you like to watch repeatedly - although it is short (1h 20 min.). Perhaps it is appropriate for those who themselves have experienced a recent similar tragedy...
