Nicole Kidman's face has restricted her range of emotion some in recent films, which is too bad, since she's a marvelous actress and I hate to see her fall out of the first ranks (to be fair, the spectacular failure of Australia cannot be blamed on her injectionist). But the trailer for Rabbit Hole suggests she might be rather well-suited to take roles where characters are frozen by some overpowering emotion, in this case, grief:
She really does look excellent in this. That scene where she's hitting herself is in emotional territory most mainstream films fear to tread on, and I like that. I hope Aaron Eckhart's role ends up being a little less clean than he appears in this. The man's gone a bit too conventional on us. We need a bit of that Two-Face horror, that Erin Brockovich scruff back.
