Rabbit may be a bit slow and the story may be lacking in some areas, but a superb lead performance and beautiful cinematography help it to mostly overcome its faults.
Though the film suffers from minor pacing issues, likely related to balancing many ideas with a heavy atmosphere, it never feels like a freshman feature.
A tense, atmospheric and visually rich psychological horror thriller, Rabbit marks the arrival of director Luke Shanahan, with his feature film debut strong in ideas and presentation.
With a plot guaranteed to divide audiences and more than a little improbability, this is certainly a hard movie to get a handle on at times. Yet Clemens is fine in two roles, Veerle Baetens is memorable as Nerida and there are plenty of ominous moments.
