Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

leethomas-11621 Ultimately too violent for me but compelling until then. Nice twist before the ending is well-handled (I didn't see it coming).

The Couchpotatoes I thought we were going to have a rip off of Donnie Darko when I saw the title of the movie but apart of the main character having visions and hallucinations it's not comparable. In White Rabbit the main character Harlon Mackey played by Nick Krause is getting bullied at school, has not a lot of friends, and even at home things are not particularly good. After a day hunting with his father he is traumatized when he had to shoot a defenseless white rabbit. From that point he's starting hallucinating, hearing voices speaking to him from his favorite comic book. I thought Nick Krause did a good job with his character. And the other actors were all good as well. The story is entertaining and is an example of a lot of things that go wrong in the education of kids in the United States. Teaching your kids to shoot guns at their young age, buying them guns as a present, prayer groups before going to school etc, all things that will mess up a kid if he's borderline disturbed. Kids that are getting bullied, that are outcasts in their school, it's not a good idea to give them guns as a present. And that's why in America you get shootings at schools etc... Things that you almost never see in Europe. I did enjoy the movie, especially the acting of Nick Krause.

paolabrambi The story of a terribly introverted boy who lives mostly in his head,since reality is too hard for him. He has really too few things that made his life barely acceptable, and he loses them one after the other. He is left with his distressing memories and his loneliness; his only escape valve- his comics- are taken away from him by a a father that try too late to regain his parental function. The settings perfectly highlight Harlon's life and falling into desolation. Especially great scenes were shot at the abandoned warehouse: a rusty, run-down and deserted place where Harlon in some way can be himself and can be together with his newborn love. To be watched.

xilliosta This film emulates so many films that involve a similar subject matter, and yet somehow fails to capture the same wonderful elements of it's predecessors.Perhaps one of the biggest flaws right off the bat is the quality of acting, particularly with the younger actors. One thing struck me during my viewing of this film, and that was how the leads looked more like Hollywood teens, and less like something you'd find in the backwoods where this is all taking place. I think it's very likely that the casting for this film revolved more around aesthetics than it did acting ability, which is a shame because much of this movie relies on the lead being able to convey his gradual build-up of rage and anxiety, and unfortunately falls quite flat in this regard.So with the lead and the love interest just not up to par, this instantly undercuts a lot of the film outright. On top of that the build-up itself, which is just a few instances of your various 'High school sure if ruff' vignettes also leaves something to be desired. The pacing feels off with it. As in the intensity of each little scene does not constantly build, but rather wavers, ebbs and flows between mundane and tragic.Though really the tragic thing is how much visible potential this film had. A lot could have been done with it, but what was done was not done well. When there're so many great films out there that tackle such difficult subject matter, it becomes really difficult to recommend this one.
