Saw Rabbit Hole. Wonderful film and a beautiful lesson in playing dark places. A couple is grieving and living pain over the death of their young son. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart pulled off in my opinion one of the most underrated performances in cinema; nothing but brilliance. Watch the film and see yourself in the roles. Think about what choices would you have made as an actor and if you are patient, look at the internal path that would have produced the most honest understanding of yourself as the character. So easy to have been melodramatic (and by this I don't mean over the top as I LOVE OVER THE TOP), yet both of these gifted actors delivered light, yet deep portrayals of a couple living a nightmare.
It requires very little thinking and TRUE risk taking. If the audience sees your acting out of the risk, you failed.
