White Rabbit Audience Reviews

TinsHeadline Touches You
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
maat-33737 A strong story that touches some very delicate and striking points: the fragility of children and how something, like the bullying, can trigger a terrible action when it is combined with a mental impairment in progress.While it is true that the bullying is not the cause of the final action in the film, this is largely a catalyst and, in the end, what turns out to be the trigger is a heartbreak. But bullying and a broken heart is not enough to turn you into a killer, there is something deeper in the mind. A childhood with huge emotional conflicts; as underestimation, frustration, anger and helplessness and loneliness, can lead a fragile person, and with a broken psyche, to a total detachment to others with a fatal outcome.In the end, the vulnerability of the girl (the character portrayed by Britt Robertson) and the memory of having acted unfairly and without any real motivation in its infancy, make him reassess their actions and, fortunately for her, gives to policemen enough time to act and finish the attack. That is why, we can see the final scene where he, as a child, is seen releasing the rabbit instead of kill it. It is an allegory about redemption you get when you forgive someone innocent (the "White Rabbit" is the helpless girl). And the rabbit in his mind, is the representation of his own guilt, and the inner voice who, at the end, says him that it's time to leave, the indication that he is dying and this is the end... without being able to fix the things that he has made.
adolfo-21 i have a 14 year old kid who is a high school freshman this year. this movie has an insight into that world that is raw and scary. every parent's fear. mental illness, bullying, violence… the minefield a young boy has to dodge all alone inside his head just to get through to the other side. remarkable, good stuff. highly recommend it. i have a 14 year old kid who is a high school freshman this year. this movie has an insight into that world that is raw and scary. every parent's fear. mental illness, bullying, violence… the minefield a young boy has to dodge all alone inside his head just to get through to the other side. remarkable, good stuff. highly recommend it.
mrizzer-1 There are some issues in this country that continually get brushed over in the hopes they will never grow as a problem. School shootings are one of these issues. They are disturbingly unique to this country and have increased in frequency. This movie does the best job yet of tackling a very difficult subject that shouldn't be dismissed. The film is artfully directed by Tim McCann. It has a documentary like power that brings to mind ' Z' directed by Costa-Gavras, but is much harder to watch than that piece shot in the 60s. White Rabbit is contemporary, unvarnished, and brutal. This film reminds you that mental illness has many faces and continues to be misunderstood and evaded as a root cause of these shootings. I've looked over McCann's filmography and he has a legacy of socially relevant films tackling the most difficult subjects. Very courageous and inspiring in an era where we cannot rely on the media to properly weight the right issues.
Liam Blackburn Harlon's life is dominated by an emotionally-abusive father. He gets picked on at school. He has almost no friends. He is failing his courses. He doesn't quite fit in to his world. He grows more and more reclusive and his only solace is found in the comic books he reads. Soon it starts to become apparent that Harlon will reach a boiling point in his life. Luckily, a fallen angel appears, and ends up reminding him of the little rabbit he couldn't (didn't want to) kill when he was young. The end result is that he finds the compassion that he had lost from when he was a child. I was really satisfied with the end of the movie. I hope people who watch this give it a chance and see the bigger picture.
