Q: What’s the movie about?
A: A couple (Nicole Kidman & Aaron Eckhart) grieves the loss of their 4-year-old son.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller, Tammy Blanchard, Sandra Oh, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Tenney
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A: Go! It will put you in their place, and fill you with compassion. It's like my mother always says, "There's nothing worse than the loss of a child." I know, that's not the kind of thing most mothers always say, but that was just her way of trying to convince me not to take drugs.
Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: If you read the movie's description and thought to yourself, "That sounds like a film I'd like to see to get a good laugh," then-- it might just take all of my inner strength not to insult your sanity.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: For me the tears weren't inspired by the main characters so much as the people around them. There are so many more parts to this problem than I would have imagined.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: Nicole Kidman: believe the hype.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: In other Nicole Kidman news, she has finally got her forehead moving again, so that's a relief. Unfortunately, she's now shooting her lips up with so much collagen, that in some scenes, she almost sounds like she has a speech impediment. This has everything to do with the acting because it took me about half the movie to stop staring at her strange pout, before I was finally able to lose myself in the extraordinary performance she'd been giving all along. I really hate collagen lips. And hers are even making me start to miss the Botox a little bit.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: John Cameron Mitchell has made three films, and I have loved them all. The other two are filled with titillatingly disturbing sex scenes, while this one doesn't include so much as a kiss. It seems like a departure for him, but in fact, it's just more proof that he can tackle any difficult subject matter in a way that makes you want to accept and understand it.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: Despite the fact that it's based on a play, and despite the fact that its locations and characters are extremely contained, as a play would be, it somehow doesn't feel like it's just a play on film.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: Rabbit Hole Trailer

It sounds like a good movie, but based on my reaction watching the trailer, there's absolutely no way I could make it through the movie without becoming a total sob-wracked basketcase. The premise is my worst fear on Earth.
As it should be... You're a good mother.
