For all its sympathy and intelligence, Rabbit Hole is ultimately too safe an experience for such a free-form tragedy.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Rabbit Hole, directed with grace and surprising humor by John Cameron Mitchell, is a delicate tale that shares a great deal of the hurt of Robert Redford's Ordinary People.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

As heavy, stressful, relentlessly sad dramas go, this one goes quite well.
Tom Long, Detroit News

John Cameron Mitchell directed, making an impressive detour in style and subject matter after his flamboyant Shortbus and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
