As the plot plays out, it becomes clearer that Roger’s creative impasse is linked to his indecision about his romantic relationships — as he toggles between a friendship with his ex, Casey (Nicole Beharie), a fine-art gallerist, and a situationship with Nicole (DeWanda Wise), a single mother with a young daughter (Cadence Reese).

Siddhant Adlakha In the Welsh folk-horror “Rabbit Trap,” debuting director Bryn Chainey creates an disquieting acoustic atmosphere and guides his trio of actors to powerful performances. However, these flourishes serve a muddled piece that coasts on its interpretability alone.
