Rabbit Hole – Neue Wege: Directed by John Cameron Mitchell. With Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller. Life for a happy couple is turned upside down after their young son dies in an accident.

“A subject like this requires attention and scrupulousness and it definitely had plenty of both. Based on the book u0026quot;Rabbit Holeu0026quot; written by David-Lindsay Abaire, the movie is riveting as far as execution and concept. Itu0026#39;s very well organized, itu0026#39;s narrative structure is impressive and it definitely catches you emotionally. The story is about a family, husband (Aaron Eckhart) and wife (Nicole Kidman), that have to deal with the emotional consequences of losing their 4 years old child. In order to free themselves they have to accept the past and move on and also to regain their trust in themselves and recommit to their marriage. The movie is getting real honest approaching the humanu0026#39;s allowance to forgiveness when the confrontation between the u0026quot;brokenu0026quot; family and the one responsible for that finally has place. It might appear to be a simple story but itu0026#39;s not thanks to the patience and passion the director, John Cameron Mitchell, invested in it. Dazzling visually and very inspiring, this movie succeeds to entertain, amaze and replenish itu0026#39;s audience with hope in totality.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCarried not only by itu0026#39;s execution but also by itu0026#39;s memorable Oscar-worthy performances, Rabbit Hole finds himself to be one of the best movies of 2010. Nicole Kidman as the simple Becca, offers one of her best performances in a long time. Itu0026#39;s a simply astounding, honest and passionate performance of this weakened but reasonable and powerful woman that must be rewarded by the Academy with at least a nomination if not the award itself. Aaron Eckart does not get over-shadowed by Kidmanu0026#39;s performance and proves once again that by portraying Beccau0026#39;s husband, Howie, his acting capabilities exceed our expectations. There are also notable performances by Dianne Wiest as Beccau0026#39;s mother and Miles Teller as the one responsible for the suffered loss.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVisually the movie finds itu0026#39;s own identity in the beautiful palette of colors. The cinematography itu0026#39;s the most you could ask for this kind of movie. Thereu0026#39;s no need for any other requirements. The most beautiful thing though itu0026#39;s the soundtrack which as simple as it might be… it fits the atmosphere and the story perfectly. Those violin and guitar chords, the little piano rolling in the background create a unique peaceful mood.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat I do want at the end of my review is to recommend this movie to anyone because itu0026#39;s simple but stunning, itu0026#39;s usual but complex, carried by three overwhelming performances. This is without a doubt one of the best movies released this year.”
