Crybaby Countdown: The Tearjerk-iest Moments of 2010

year in review
Kurt here from Your Movie Buddy, getting honest about choking up. I live to cry at the movies, but it's so, so rare. It's like genuine belly laughs: they're great, but they just don't happen that much, especially for frequent, discerning filmgoers. My strongest recent memory of getting all sniffly would probably be during the candlelight vigil scene at the end of Milk. Such a powerful sight. I don't discriminate, though: I'm not afraid to admit I fell victim to the climax of the DeNiro weeper Everybody's Fine. Tearducts play by their own rules. Here's what gave mine a workout this year:

Your Daily Fix Of Oscar: 12/30/10
30 December 2010 2:10 PM, PST | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »
The Hot Blog: David Poland claims that “True Grit,” the Coen brothers Western, “has muscled its way into the frontrunner slot to win best picture” as a result of its solid box-office performance over the long Christmas weekend. (It generated $36.1 million, good enough for second place behind “Little Fockers,” which brought in only $9 million more.) Methinks Poland is too smart to actually believe that and is just hoping to generate some late phase one traffic to his site and/or be the one guy who made a crazy pick that somehow came true (as Tom O’Neil attempted last year with “Inglourious Basterds”). Jeff Wells (here) and Sasha Stone (here) seem to concur.
New York Times: Manohla Dargis, Stephen Holden, and A.O. Scott, the newspaper’s three film critics, share their five selections for what/who this year’s Oscar nominees “should be” in this Sunday’s edition. Having obtained an early copy, »

Rabbit Hole (2010)
27 December 2010 1:20 PM, PST | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
Adapted from David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Rabbit Hole” ferries us down into the blackest void of parental despair and bravely leaves us without a sturdy rope to climb back out.
Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) are an affluent married couple half-heartedly pursuing the American dream somewhere in the gorgeous Northeast. After their young son, Danny (Phoenix List), is killed by a car, they fight to hold on to his memory, and each other, without letting the future slip away. While anxiously reshaping the physical and social landscapes around her, Becca makes contact with Jason (Miles Teller) — a burgeoning comic-book artist and the teen driver who’s car killed her son — and begins to find meaning in her life again through his creativity and heart-felt confessions.
Very few films that strive for poignancy and profundity ever achieve their aim. Solemn-looking actors staring longingly through windows, cool-hued lens »

Rabbit Hole
25 December 2010 8:27 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: John Cameron Mitchell
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller
Running Time: 1 hr 32 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: December 25, 2010 (Chicago)
Plot: A husband (Eckhart) and a wife (Kidman) try different ways of dealing with this loss of their young son.
Who’S It For?: Filmgoers especially compelled by dramas like Little Children and Ordinary People, movies that have a gothic suburban energy and feature adults who are not entirely sure what they should be doing during intense times in their lives. With that being said, the material might be a bit sensitive for some, but it is handled without an exploitation.
Expectations: From this premise, it seemed like this definitely would not be like Mitchell’s previous Shortbus. It was curious to see how the story would explore grief. Could it handle the topic with the same craziness as something like Lars von Trier’s Antichrist? »

New Rabbit Hole Poster and UK Trailer
24 December 2010 12:12 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Today a new UK trailer and quad poster from John Cameron Mitchell‘s emotional drama Rabbit Hole have been released.
Rabbit Hole is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly witty portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of all situations.
Becca and Howie Corbett (Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart) are returning to their everyday existence in the wake of a shocking, sudden loss. Just eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with everything they wanted. Now, they are caught in a maze of memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort.
The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother (Dianne Wiest) and secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the accident that changed everything (Miles Teller); while »

Film Review: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart Avoid Melodrama in Moving ‘Rabbit Hole’
23 December 2010 1:54 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Chicago – John Cameron Mitchell’s “Rabbit Hole” tells a story not uncommon to cinema in its exploration of the emotional minefield that comes after the loss of a child but it does so with such restraint and humanity that it sets itself apart. With some of the best performances of the year from Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, and Dianne Wiest, this is one of the strongest dramas of the awards season.
Melodramatic writers and directors have often used the death of a son to manipulate audiences with clichéd tearjerkers but honestly portraying such raw emotions is much more difficult. David Lindsay-Abaire’s excellent script for “Rabbit Hole” doesn’t focus on the death or even the days shortly thereafter, instead turning to how a couple heals months later, after the emotional scabs have formed. With arguably career-best turns from Kidman and Eckhart along with a subtlety rarely found in films like this, »

Grief and Mourning: Rabbit Hole

The cast and crew of Rabbit Hole - including Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, and director John Cameron Mitchell - open up about their research for a movie with sadness at its core. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart There was something slightly odd about seeing John Cameron Mitchell in the midst of a gaggle of movie stars recently at the Rabbit Hole press conference. In an enormous-ceilinged conference room in the palatial new Trump Soho hotel, the setting called to mind how different Rabbit Hole is from his previous work. Seated beside Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart and Sandra Oh (as well as newcomer Miles Teller and screenwriter/playwright David Lindsay-Abaire), the filmmaker whose last feature was a low-budget indie with tons of genuine sexual intercourse seemed to have moved into a different realm. Which isn't to say that Cameron Mitchell has 'sold out,' or compromised his artistic integrity somehow; rather, »

Rabbit Hole Review
17 December 2010 11:28 AM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
John Cameron Mitchell’s moving Rabbit Hole opens on an idyllic backyard, a vibrant garden of carefully pruned flowers surrounded by a pristine white picket fence. Becca (Nicole Kidman) calmly tends to her beloved plants, safely rooted within the perimeter; comfortably, blissfully in control.
But inside her meticulously kept home is only misery, and the painful reminders of her 4-year-old son who chased the family dog through the fence, and outside her control, into the street and was struck by an oncoming car. She shares the home and the devastation with her loving husband Howie (Aaron Eckhart), but eight months of intense mourning has driven a distance between them.
Kidman delivers a career performance as the restrained mother who rarely betrays her internal turmoil, except to lash out in frustration like an inappropriate outburst at a group therapy session she reluctantly attends with Howie. Otherwise, Kidman (and by extension, Becca) concedes only nuanced emotions, »

From 'Hedwig' to 'Rabbit Hole'
17 December 2010 7:05 AM, PST | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
John Cameron Mitchell, the star of and brilliant mind behind the campy rock 'n' roll musical-turned-feature "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and the sexually laced ensemble drama "Shortbus," received a lot of lucrative offers following his successes—including a role in an "X-Men" film and directing a Target commercial campaign. But he declined most of them in favor of developing his own projects and decided to hold out for something extra special. That came in the form of the screenplay adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Rabbit Hole." After Sam Raimi dropped out, producer-star Nicole Kidman called Mitchell with an offer to be a director for hire.Mitchell had a couple of concerns. He had never helmed a film he did not pen himself, and he would not have the luxury of complete creative control the way he had previously. However, the drama about a grieving married couple (Kidman and »
Review: John Cameron Mitchell's "Rabbit Hole" is Well Worth Exploring

John Cameron Mitchell and Nicole Kidman
Fans of out director John Cameron Mitchell are in for a real shock this time: his latest film isn't shocking at all.
Instead, the latest movie by the director of two cult classics, the sexually explicit film experiment Shortbus and the glorious gender-bending punk romp Hedwig and the Angry Inch, has made ... a subtle and touching meditation on the nature of grief.
This is Oscar-bait all the way: a sometimes quiet, always literate script based on a play starring a cadre of exceptionally talented, A-list actors, including Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, and Sandra Oh.
What's this? Has Mitchell sold out?
It's clear he's playing in the big leagues now, but if this is selling out, more artists should do it. In its way, this subtle, challenging film is every bit as daring as Shortbus or Hedwig. It's just that this time around, »

Rabbit Hole Movie Review

Title: Rabbit Hole Director: John Cameron Mitchell Starring: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Miles Teller, Tammy Blanchard, Sandra Oh, Giancarlo Esposito, John Tenney By: Joe Belcastro Having an accomplished cast is always a good idea if one plans on following the typical storytelling pattern seen in others depicting similar themes. Rabbit Hole is just that. The 91 minute feature follows a married couple who is struggling to cope with tragedy. So although the flick mimics others, it still has a legit shot in standing out if the performances can enhance script. Becca (Nicole Kidman) and her husband Howie (Aaron Eckhart) seemingly had the perfect life. Promising careers, a gorgeous house in [...] »

For a filmmaker associated best with exploring gender and sexuality onscreen in such audacious, stylized films as Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Shortbus, John Cameron Mitchell seems an unlikely but inspired choice to helm David Lindsay-Abaire's pared-down adaptation of his own Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Rabbit Hole (opening in limited release on December 17, nationwide January 14):
Rabbit Hole is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly witty portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of all situations.
