Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJul 5, 2023
Sarah Snook gives a riveting performance as a mother going mad in Run Rabbit Run, a psychological thriller that’s mostly effective, even though its story is familiar and somewhat threadbare. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearJun 30, 2023
It’s capable of quickly upshifting from tense to intense, and also of having the appearance of a scary movie rather than being one. Read full review

The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeJun 30, 2023
Not everything works here. Too much is overfamiliar. But Run Rabbit Run retains a clammy grip throughout. Definitely worth a stream. Read full review

Total FilmJames MottramJun 27, 2023
Sadly, a generic script doesn’t aid the film’s overall ambitions. A little less than the sum of its parts, Run Rabbit Run is ultimately more intriguing than outright terrifying. Read full review

Film ThreatAlex SavelievJan 25, 2023
Bolstered by Mark Bradshaw and Marcus Whale’s electronic drone soundtrack and Bonnie Elliott’s atmospheric cinematography, Run Rabbit Run could’ve used some more forward momentum. It lacks outright scares and novelty but makes up for it in some psychological depth. Reid’s film may not reach the profundity it strives for, but how many horror titles even strive for anything these days? Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJun 29, 2023
Gloomy and vague, Run Rabbit Run is a moody, noncommittal tease replete with the usual spectral signifiers: clammy dreams, scary drawings, unsettling masks. Snook does everything but rend her garments in a performance that only emphasizes the busy vapidity of Hannah Kent’s script. Read full review

IndieWireRyan LattanzioJan 23, 2023
A predictably terrific Sarah Snook goes full-blown feral in the Australian horror movie Run Rabbit Run, but its final-act destination isn’t enough to justify the journey. Read full review

SlashfilmErin BradyJan 23, 2023
While Snook and LaTorre give it their all, Run Rabbit Run is just another example of a movie not working unless it knows what it wants to be. Read full review

ColliderChase HutchinsonJan 23, 2023
While Snook does all she can to give the experience some heft, Run Rabbit Run is a horror film in search of something greater others have already achieved that it is never able to find. Read full review

Screen RantGraeme GuttmannJun 29, 2023
Unfortunately, Run Rabbit Run is less than the sum of its parts, and even an excellent turn from Sarah Snook can't elevate the movie beyond its basest instincts. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyJun 29, 2023
Run Rabbit Run is certainly fluent in the visual language of eerie, effective horror. Its metaphors, though, are all mumbled. Read full review

The GuardianMichael SunJun 11, 2023
Snook, of course, is typically excellent, fresh from her turn as Succession’s petulant, scheming Shiv Roy in another spiky role here – but even her performance, as it heightens towards a crazed delirium, recalls Toni Collette’s in Hereditary. Read full review
