“Sarah Snook plays a fertility doctor who believes firmly in life and death, but after noticing the strange behavior of her young daughter, must challenge her own values and confront a ghost from her past.”

As already introduced, Succession star Sarah Snook performs the lead position in Run Rabbit Run. She is joined by her on-screen daughter Lily LaTorre in addition to Damon Herriman (The Nightingale) and Emmy-winner Greta Scacchi (Rasputin).
What are the early critic evaluations saying about Run Rabbit Run?
Netflix’s Run Rabbit Run wasn’t obtained very properly by critics at Sundance.
It at present has a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes primarily based on 45 critics’ evaluations with such statements as “even a feral Sarah Snook can’t raise hairs in this Aussie thriller” or “Run Rabbit Run boasts some powerhouse performances, but they’re largely overwhelmed by a thin plot and overreliance on stale horror tropes.”
On the opposite finish of the spectrum, Ed Gibbs from Times (UK) concluded:
“Reid’s handsomely shot film takes its time building to its inevitable climax, and some of the more familiar genre tropes feel a little on the nose. But Snook carries the piece with gusto…”
What’s the Netflix launch date for Run Rabbit Run?
As talked about, the film has already made its debut on the Sundance Film Festival and was amongst a number of Netflix motion pictures and documentaries that the streamer both purchased or premiered on the competition. Other titles for 2023 included Fair Play (confirmed to debut in 2023), Victim/Suspect, and The Deepest Breath. The film will even premiere on the Sydney Film Festival in June 2023.
