How unfair is it that children suffer the most from our anxieties? This question beats at the heart of Run Rabbit Run, a 100-minute psychological horror from Australian director Daina Reid (who won an Emmy in 2019 for her work on The Handmaid’s Tale) and Australian novelist Hannah Kent, which stars Sarah Snook in her first post-Succession role.
She plays Sarah, a doctor and a single mother who is coming to terms with the loss of her father. His death has disturbed some deeply buried dark memories, which now start to take on real-life effects. Sarah begins to perceive threats everywhere – particularly in her daughter, Mia (played by the lovely Lily LaTorre), whose behaviour dramatically alters when she starts believing she is Sarah’s presumed-dead sister, Alice.
