John Cameron Mitchell’s long-awaited drama “Rabbit Hole” made its premiere at TIFF on Monday night and has since been largely impressing critics who have seen the film. We saw it and were certainly taken by what is a very powerful look at the devastating emotional wake caused by the death of a child.
Lionsgate has gone ahead and snatched up the North American distribution rights for the film and more importantly, plan to release it before the end of the year. The film has been earning Oscar buzz surrounding Nicole Kidman’s performance and certainly, it’s one of the best roles she’s had in a while and she definitely brings it. She’s surrounded by a strong supporting cast, including Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller and Sandra Oh.
No word yet on a release date but we would imagine it will be prepped for a December bow. [Deadline]
Wasn't this already at Fox Searchlight? Did they drop it?
