    DVD review: Rabbit hole

    Rabbit hole is an extremely powerful and emotional film about what a couple can and does go through as a result of the loss of a child. This film was up for a Grammy nomination I believe and I can see why. VERY powerful performances by all involved, especially Nicolle kidman.

    Both my wife and I were in tears a few times during the viewing of this film. Both the husband and wife over the course of the film have their own ways of getting over that tragic event and one seems to cope better than the other. The dynamics of this 'coping' change drastically as the film progresses.

    This is a long, emotionally draining film so watch it when you are awake, not tired, and ready to take on a challenging film........and enjoy!! :T

    8.5/10 stars !!

    We lost an adult child and you never really get over it. We avoid any film with this kind of theme. Too painful to watch.

      @ George......After watching this film and what it had to say, I understand completely. I have an 12 year old daughter and if we ever lost her, I would be destroyed!!.

            P-p-p-p-p-p-p-lease watch this movie?

            Great flick. 15 years after the first release, this movie is re-released on DVD in the "Vista Series", with an excellent DVD transfer and new special features.

            This is a fantastic idea for a movie, mixing animation into real-world...

            This Foreign film (subtitled) gives a powerful, realistic and emotional look into the life of a young Columbian girl who is recruited into the drug cartel as mule (smuggler) to transport drugs into the States.

            This plot resists delving into politics, economics and morality...

            I will start shortening things up here. And just get to the salient points. But first, let me say this. Up to this point Heavens Gate was the biggest disaster in the history of filmmaking, at least from the perspective of the investors. At $40 million dollars it bankrupted UA studios. Books have been...

            There's a lot of posts on this film at several other HT sites and seems to come down to the fact that viewers either loved it or hated it. I just want to go on record by saying that I feel it deserves all the attention it got at the Academy Awards. I happen to like Steven Soderbergh's work and this...
