We've been asked by the makers of the new Nicole Kidman film, Rabbit Hole, to find Mumsnetters who would like to go and see a preview screening and to then add a review on Mumsnet. You can take a friend.

Here's the synoposis of the film:
"Nicole Kidman returns to the big screen with a stunning Golden Globe nominated performance. Hotly tipped for success in the up-coming awards season, RABBIT HOLE co-stars Aaron Eckhart and Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest in the story of a married couple coming to terms with an unexpected loss.
"RABBIT HOLE is the new film from John Cameron Mitchell (Shortbus, Hedwig and the Angry Itch), based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by David Lindsay Abaire.
"Set in the suburbs of America, RABBIT HOLE tells the story of Becca and Howie Corbett, a married couple struggling to return to their everyday existence several months after the loss of their child. Becca and Howie embark on separate journeys, making increasingly unexpected choices that threaten to pull them apart.
"Distancing herself from her family and her own emotions, Becca begins to surreptitiously follow a local teenage boy with whom she shares an unexplained connection. Howie clings wholeheartedly onto his memories and places his faith in the everyday routines of life, but an acquaintance at a group therapy session offers a more unconventional method of dealing with his feelings.
"With their world tilted off of its axis, the couple must decide whether to allow their increasingly fractured personal journeys to bring them back together. Rabbit Hole is a vivid, honest and unexpectedly funny portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of situations."

JenniferMumsnet has already seen the film and says "I loved it - its a very sensitive portrayal of a couple handling the death of their child - think Ordinary People but much much better - its not a weepy but very thought provoking".

  3. You will need to email the organisers who will email you back with tickets to print off. If you're unable to print them off they will have your name on the door.
  4. After the screening MN will email you with a link to the feedback thread.


All we ask is that you go along to the screening and then add your review to a special thread on Mumsnet (you will be emailed a link).

Everyone who adds a review will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky winner will win a Cineworld Annual pass for 2 - with unlimited tickets plus we have 5 pairs of tickets for runners up.

Would love to apply for this - going to the cinema in the daytime is truly decadent - but am too far away.

Sad

I'm surprised there's not a venue more accessible to the Midlands/North.

It does sound sad. Considering recent over-reactions to the EastEnders storyline, I am surprised that MN is running this!

Hi Swaliswan - we checked and the film promoter is more than happy for you to take your 6 week old baby to the screening. The cinema management in Southampton have basically asked (with respect) that you sit in an aisle seat and that, in consideration for other people at the screening, take baby out should he/she make an uncontrollable racket Wink! I'm sure you would have anyway but am passing on what they said. Any questions please let me know.
