Rabbit Hole

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
In the opening scenes of Rabbit Hole, Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart play characters who look the part of a content, happily settled married couple. She tends the garden and politely turns down a dinner invitation so they can stay in alone together. He flirts with her as she prepares a risotto. Then, when the phone rings at a too-late hour, the looks on their faces tell another story. These are people who’ve learned how easily chance can make a life collapse. The call isn’t serious bad news—Kidman’s rough-edged sister (Tammy Blanchard) just needs to be bailed out after a bar fight—but they’ve known bad news, and recently. The fear in their eyes at the ringing of the phone suggests a hurt too fresh for it to be any other way.
