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. - 91
The A.V. Club
Rabbit Hole is a tremendously sad movie, but it's also the furthest thing from a miserablist wallow. - 90
Boxoffice Magazine
It's an unforgettable, moving and brilliantly acted drama that richly deserves to be seen by anyone who cherishes great filmmaking. - 80
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. - 80
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. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Eckhart shows a new kind of foreboding anger. He's powerful as a man who will do anything to crack the ice. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The film does achieve moments of catharsis, but it can be heavy going. - 60
Time Out
Easily the most gracefully performed grief-porn you'll see this season.
