The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 19 January 2023 and was released on Netflix on 28 June 2023. Plot Sarah, a divorced fertility doctor, celebrates her daughter Mia's seventh birthday. The pair find a rabbit at their house, which Mia grows attached to. The night of Mia's birthday, they are joined by Peter, Mia's father; Denise, Peter's new partner, and Toby, Denise's three-year-old son. While playing, Mia screams when Toby hits her on the head. Sarah angrily rebukes Toby and Denise, but Peter smooths things over. Later at night, Sarah attempts to send the rabbit over their garden wall, but it bites her. Sarah realises that Mia saw her try to get rid of the rabbit. Starting the next morning, Mia's behaviour grows strange. She becomes intermittently unresponsive, and starts wearing a self-made rabbit mask that she refuses to take off when Sarah asks. At school, Mia hides in a playground tube in fear, but denies that she's being bullied. Mia says she misses her grandmother, Joan, whom Sarah is estranged from and whom Mia has never met.
