I love it when a movie poster can tell the story, narratively, emotionally, all in a single image. Or in this case, a series of thin slats as Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart’s relationship collapses. This is one of the better one-sheets this year.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. I really want to see this now. I mean, i already did, but now I do more.
That is *gorgeous*.
This is freaking gorgeous. Only started hearing about this one last week with the Spirit Noms & then saw the trailer at Black Swan. Looking forward to checking it out.
Missed both Local Press Screenings for this film due to commitments I couldn’t get out of. And somehow it didn’t make it into my final schedule when it played at TIFF. I’m kicking myself for that now.
Yeah, I think I missed it at AFI because I wanted to see the Xavier Dolan film. Not upset at that choice, though – Rabbit Hole will be easily available in a couple of weeks and Heartbeats may never be.
That is often why I skip films at festivals too, Jandy! Rabbit Hole opens in Toronto on the 17th of Dec. Not too far away.
Row Three: Where art snobs fawn over Ordinary People 2!
*Tsk Tsk Matt Grumble, Have you seen the film yet?
Amusing, after looking at the poster for ORDINARY PEOPLE, that makes 2 films only a couple years apart, both staring Donald Sutherland that use a similar poster design:
Why would I want to watch melodramatic Oscar bait? I have better things to do, like distending my colon or injecting bot flies into my retina.
