This intriguing Australian psychological thriller finds an ordinary suburban working single mother dealing with the emotional fallout of a broken marriage, losing her father plus an estranged ill mother, whilst at the same time handling the increasingly strange behaviour of her young daughter that becomes tied in to unfolding secrets from the past. The eerie soundtrack rumbles ominously throughout and the grey stormy mise-en-scene accentuates the grief and trauma running through the film. The intimate and enclosed feeling generated from the start (reminiscent of The Babadook) tightens very effectively from the midway mark, with events taking an increasingly disturbing turn and leading to a haunting ending. With strong performances from Sarah Snook as the mother and young Lily LaTorre as the daughter, Run Rabbit Run is a gritty, emotional and interesting film.
