Decent film, nice tone, good potential, but then...what? Does anyone get this? How could it have been better? What/who was the rabbit?

***WARNING: SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW IN THIS THREAD**** (since I don't think I can go back and edit the title)
The Alice in Wonderland "down the rabbit hole" was obvious enough, but I don't see how you connect the white rabbit to "innocence" as the review suggests. If anything, I read the rabbit as sinister--perhaps even spiritual or other-worldly--being juxtaposed with something we usually see as "safe and cute." But even with the rabbit, what's the deal with the ending? Two characters just walk off together hand-in-hand as if they never existed? Her sister and her daughter? It's not like her daughter died (at least that I would understand). Strange. Again, TONS of potential, but a disappointing payoff. Thx for the link @bratface
