RUN RABBIT RUN – directed by Daina Reid – (limited spoilers) ⁓
On her daughter Mia’s seventh birthday, a white rabbit appears in Sarah’s yard. Mia (Lily LaTorre), whose name means “lunar cycle” in the Noongar language, assumes it’s a birthday present, and she’s likely right about that although just who sent the animal is a mystery. Mia’s father Pete (Damon Herriman), his new wife Denise (Naomi Rukavina), and her son Toby (Hugo Soysa) arrive for a small celebration. Denise is a social worker who has just gotten a new and more interesting job. Pete confides to a surprised Sarah that he and Denise are “trying for a baby”. Toby hits Mia for no particular reason, and when told not to do that, promptly does it again.
