As the stakes rise, Sarah finds herself entwined in a complex dance between reality and fantasy, blurring the lines between what's real and what's just her imagination.

Reviews
Jenna
The atmosphere is decent, but the story is mediocre and doesn't express much substantial content. Please, Sarah Snook, do more movies, thank you!
Kennedy
Netflix's official title, "Run Rabbit Run," is fitting for this atmospheric film. The performances of both the mother and daughter leads are outstanding—the effect would be the same even if Elisabeth Moss, the original choice for the role, had starred. The young actress also recently appeared in the Australian series "High Country" which was released last month.
Emma
"The tension is a bit too high, but I'll still give it a passing grade. There should be more content exploring themes that go against popular social values, such as 'mothers not loving their children' or 'children not loving their mothers,' similar to 'The Lost Daughter.' Women should be able to more openly express and discuss not loving their children without being held hostage by the 'mother' role. Motherhood isn't something every woman possesses, and it isn't automatically generated at the moment of childbirth. Society should recognize that this is perfectly normal."

Utterly boring, monotonously mystical, and devoid of any genuine thrills. Don't waste 100 minutes on this!

The atmosphere is palpable, but that's about all it offers. Because the visuals are so restrained, the music tries too hard to compensate. And the rabbit motif – is it Alice, Mia, or something else entirely?

"Run Rabbit Run" masterfully intertwines a chilling existential dread with the complexities of family and morality. Sarah, as both a fertility expert and a mother, navigates a harrowing reality where her daughter's strange behavior mirrors the unsettling undercurrents of life itself. The film is a haunting exploration of love, loss, and the thin line between sanity and survival."
