A moody, puzzling film that deserves more attention than it got.

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2003)

Don't let the plot summaries fool you; that whole 'rabbit' business is a brilliant guise for what is actually a fine 'high school' story about a troubled young man struggling to find his place in a confusing, apathetic world. Think "American Beauty" overhauled by Tim Burton.
Richard Kelly's story and direction are appropriately moody, and the puzzle of a plot will require a second viewing (at least). But don't let that scare you away. There's enough here of character, humor, feeling, and intelligence (gasp!) to cushion this film where other teenage horror flicks fail.
If anything, watch it with your smart college friends and enjoy the cosmic discussion it sparks afterwards.
