My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Rabbit Hole (2010)

Nicole Kidman has never been better in this adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama by David Lindsay-Abaire.  John Cameron Mitchell directs and brilliantly takes his audience through the rough waters of a husband and wife dealing with the death of their 4 year old son.  Aaron Eckhart shines as the husband who can't figure out how to help his wife and sort out his own guilt in the process.  While a simple plot, it's a complex emotional journey that never feels too heavy for the audience.  I was worried that it would put me into a depression but it's actually very uplifting.  Grade: A-.
