RABBIT HOLE
In a distinct change of pace, provocative director John Cameron Mitchell ("Hedwig and the Angry Inch," "Shortbus") helms the screen adaptation of "Rabbit Hole," a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Lindsay-Abaire.
The film explores the grief felt by a husband and wife, Howie (Aaron Eckhart, "Erin Brockovich") and Becca (Academy Award® winner Nicole Kidman), who fight to save their marriage after the deepest form of loss: the death of a child.
"Rabbit Hole" is a vivid, honest, and unexpectedly funny portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of situations. The stellar cast also includes two-time Oscar® winner Dianne Wiest, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Tenney, and Sandra Oh.
Calling the film "remarkable both for avoiding the pitfalls of the mourning-parents genre and for allowing Howie and especially Becca to embody a prickly, often comic grace," Time magazine concludes: "This is no Lifetime Channel weepie; it is an evocation of coping that is deeply, complexly, heartbreakingly human."
A Lions Gate Release, RABBIT HOLE commercially in San Diego on December 17th.
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, some drug use and language. Running Time: 92 Minutes
