"Rabbit Hole" is a film that's steeped in sorrow, but watching it is a joyful experience — at least for those who appreciate finely drawn characters from fabulous actors who invest them with heft and heart. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart play Becca and Howie Corbett, a couple in their late 30s who lost their 4-year-old son, Danny, eight months ago after he was hit by a car. Though the film is adapted from a play by David Lindsay-Abaire (who also wrote the screenplay), there's no theatricality to their performances; Howie and Becca feel like real, flawed people who could be living next door.
