What critics compared Harvey to

Personal Shopper poster
The mirrored sequins on a Chanel dress cast reflections that flit across the walls like mischievous wraiths, and you may even detect a hint of “Harvey” (1950)—in which Jimmy Stewart was best friends with an invisible rabbit—as the doors of a hotel elevator open and close to let through a nonexistent guest.

K-PAX poster
Think of Jimmy Stewart's remarkable performance in "Harvey" in 1950.
Field of Dreams poster
It's like a version of "Harvey" where we see James Stewart and the rabbit, but not the wondering or dyspeptic people around them.

Donnie Darko poster
Like James Stewart's character in "Harvey" (1950), Donnie sees a rabbit that no one else can see or hear.

That's all the connections!
