Sarah Snook (Succession) stars in a spine-tingling Australian psychological thriller as a troubled single mother whose daughter grows distant… and disturbing. Official selection, Sundance.
This chilling feature debut from Emmy-nominated Australian filmmaker Daina Reid (The Handmaid’s Tale) is a fantasy and horror tinged journey into the stark reality of a fractured mother-daughter relationship. Sarah (Snook) is a divorced fertility doctor whose daughter, Mia, begins acting strangely on the eve of her seventh birthday. The girl’s disturbing drawings, fierce attachment to a cardboard rabbit face mask and sudden insistence that her name is Alice drive Sarah to despair and towards a reckoning with her troubled past. Outstanding performances by Snook and amazingly talented newcomer Lily LaTorre make this a memorable expedition down the rabbit hole of memory, guilt and family secrets and lies.
Sarah Snook turns in a terrific performance which is always true to the character at every point of a complex arc.

Reid and screenwriter Hannah Kent conjure a fearful relationship made all the creepier because we’re never quite certain whether it’s fear of or fear for.
