	Media	Author	Review
		Ryan Lattanzio IndieWire	"Another day, another horror movie about grief and trauma (...) 'Run Rabbit Run' is a pile-up of banal horror tropes"
		Damon Wise Deadline	"There are certain tropes from Australian trauma dramas that don’t travel well. But it has a poetic resonance that (...) makes for an equally nightmarish essay on action and consequence"
		Erin Brady SlashFilm	"Almost everything in the film fell victim to its indecisive nature. By the time it settled on what it was about in its third act, all tensions and stakes seemed to dissipate"
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"Yet what it lacks in thematic newness, it makes up for in the sophistication of its moment-to-moment scarifying and its performances from Sarah Snook and outstanding newcomer Lily LaTorre"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"'Run Rabbit Run' is a horror film in search of something greater others have already achieved that it is never able to find"
		Josh Korngut Dread Central	"It has plenty of atmosphere, but jarring and undercooked similarities to ‘The Babadook,’ —another unsettling meditation on motherhood —end up skinning it of all potential (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"[It] is a solid, spooky tale (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Michael Sun The Guardian	"Sarah Snook fails to spook (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Snook turns in a terrific performance which is always true to the character at every point of a complex arc"
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"The only thing truly terrifying about 'Run Rabbit Run' is its astounding level of boredom"
		Brianna Zigler Paste Magazine	"It never gets any good either, coasting on the success of previous films but unbothered to transcend them, to the point where the film isn’t actually about trauma but still obviously about trauma"
		Jourdain Searles The Hollywood Reporter	"Moody and atmospheric, 'Run Rabbit Run' easily builds tension and dread. And yet, it keeps hinting at depth that never comes"
		John Serba Decider	"The material ends up tripping over too many tropes to be a deeper excursion into the psychology of childhood and motherhood"
		David Fear Rolling Stone	"When it works, it can briefly conjure up that feeling you get right before you wake up from a particularly bad nightmare. When it doesn’t, you have the sensation of one horror-film cliché after another haphazardly colliding into each other"
		Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"[It] falls short of its lofty premise (...) it is less than the sum of its parts (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Sarah Snook is amazing, but equally breathtaking is the young Lily LaTorre. It’s a slow burn but never boring (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew F Peirce The Curb	"An unsatisfying mystery that I cannot heartily recommend"
		Chris Bumbray JoBlo	"'Run Rabbit Run' is further evidence of how gifted of an actress Snook can be (...) Rating: ★★★★★★★ (out of 10)"
		Michael Frank The Film Stage	"The origins of all this unstable melodrama eventually unfold (...) This dark fable provides little meat to chew on"
		Mel Valentin Screen Anarchy	"Reid and Kent suitably ratchet up the tension and suspense as required by the genre (...) [The] wheel-spinning script fails to match Snook's performance"
		Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting	"There are nuggets of a better film here, but what we have is an undercooked mystery with little atmosphere, leaving us with a final product that is, quite frankly, just plain boring (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"I was happily sandwiched between two friends whose nervous giggles, along with Snook’s characteristically arresting performance, were more than enough to keep me in my seat"
		Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"'Run Rabbit Run' does nothing to transcend its influences, finds nothing insightful to say about the various familial relationships its fails to explore, traps its talented cast in unmemorable characters"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"A horror film made by a talented director who clearly loves the genre but couldn't find a truly original path for this particular tale (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"Despite the talent involved, 'Run Rabbit Run' ends up being a dull trudge through familiar horror tropes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Josh Bell CBR	"'Run Rabbit Run' comes off as a dull, meandering therapy session"
