Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I think the movie sets out to do exactly what it was design to do. David Lynch basically got a huge kick out of seeing all the reactions of the people who saw it, I mean it's a real knee slapper. He made it for himself folks. It's entertaining for him to see how people are so easy to manipulate into seeing something that isn't there. There's no deeper meaning. I think people should critic themselves instead of the movie. For anyone who has said or will say in the future "Well, yes I can see exactly what kind of experience he wanted to create for the viewer, while at the same time trying to convey a sense of.....blah blah blah" I have this to say.....No you don't...the joke's on us buddy!!! I was going to give it a 1 for the time I've wasted on that. But then I thought that, since I got a big kick out of people trying to give me their own analysis of it, I wanted to give it a 10. So I'll give it a 5.

When I read the comments on the David Lynch works, it's always remarkable to see the division of people into two groups; one admiring the hint of deeper meaning in his works, and one disliking the lack of an obvious statement. I always start to think about the fact whether (David Lynch's) movies should carry out a more clear message... Fact of course is, that it is very interesting to see what people make of the movies. I think that the openness of Lynch's work allows everyone who watches it to think freely about the content. And that is what I think is a great thing about Lynch's work. This especially goes for Rabbits; the total lack of plot or explanation of the dialog made me wonder what it was actually about. I saw in the eerie house room a reflection of a domestic scene of some period of regression. There is shabby furniture, and a classical situation where the husband goes out from time to time (to work), the wife stays at home to iron clothes and what I assume is the kid is sitting on the couch reading. I got the feeling of a family situation that had experienced something horrific in the outside world, which is never shown. It came pretty close though when the door opened and a scream and flickering light suggested some bad events that happened on the outside, and were discussed through the weird dialog.All in all I very much like the way Lynch is making subtle suggestions and lets everybody free to wonder about the true meaning of his movies. Very inspiring.

Maybe I'm just a nut, but I rarely find myself in either of the usual camps regarding Lynch flicks. Rabbits is a good example: I have not desire to "figure it all out," nor do I think it's drivel. It's an interesting experience just as it is.The best analogy I have for watching a Lynch film is hearing a song in a made-up language: the vocabulary might be lost on me, but the mood is crystal clear. I don't puzzle over the words. Since I have no reference point for intellectualizing them, I don't distract myself by trying. Instead, I sit back and let the nuances of emotion transcend the sound. Really, isn't that the power of art? That same philosophy applies to film. It would be silly to design a film that totally rejects convention to be the vehicle for one specific, decipherable message. You just kinda "feel" the movie the way you feel music.With that purpose in mind, I waited until night, turned off the lights, and watched Rabbits. In a few places I got bored, but mostly it was great. It's creepy, it's dream-like, it's surprising. I don't want to "understand" what's happening. To me, a good mystery isn't one where I go "oh" at the end - it's one where I feel like turning on all the lights in your house at the end. On that count, Rabbits delivers. What else could you want?

It's spooky, it's strange (hell it's even funny) and it's dangerously spellbinding!!! Rabbits is the mother and father of all nightmares. The acting, the movements, the lighting and the colors are all brilliant and some of the singing of Rebekah del Rio reminds you of Greek tragedy. I always say that there are no bad David Lynch films. There are just people who don't understand them. Once you take the trip down the abysmal world of the subconscious, you don't want to wake up. We all have fears and we all definitely have Rabbits in our heads. CAN'T WAIT for INLAND EMPIRE...
