Rabbit Hole

Starring Nicole Kidman’s weird lips. Despite Kidman’s distracting cosmetic surgery, John Cameron Mitchell et al have fashioned a decent and poignant drama about a grieving couple. Yes, at times it’s very sad, but there’s also some dark humor and ultimately a sense of optimism about the human condition. All the leads, including Kidman, are outstanding. Too, the low-budget, Red-camera cinematography looks like a real movie and not like a found-footage, faux-documentary soaked in iodine and bear poo (re: Blue Valentine). Not really a FUN! HAPPY! night at the movies, but a solid, rewarding drama.
