      Time

      Kidman, in a career-best performance, and Eckhart lend pitch-perfect calibration to the couple's shared and separate agonies. It's as if previous treatments of the subject were a series of failed experiments, and Rabbit Hole is the Eureka! moment.

      Rabbit Hole is a tremendously sad movie, but it's also the furthest thing from a miserablist wallow.

      Boxoffice Magazine

      It's an unforgettable, moving and brilliantly acted drama that richly deserves to be seen by anyone who cherishes great filmmaking.

      Variety

      Grief may be the topic under examination, but humor -- incisive, observant and warm -- is the tool with which it's dissected in Rabbit Hole, a refreshingly positive-minded take on cinema's ultimate downer: overcoming the death of a child.

      Movieline

      Director John Cameron Mitchell - adapting David Lindsay-Abaire's play - has a surprisingly deft touch with this admittedly downbeat material; he builds dramatic intensity in subtle layers, rather than slapping it on with a trowel.

      Entertainment Weekly

      Eckhart shows a new kind of foreboding anger. He's powerful as a man who will do anything to crack the ice.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      The film does achieve moments of catharsis, but it can be heavy going.

      Time Out

      Easily the most gracefully performed grief-porn you'll see this season.
