Critics Consensus

Elevated by Mads Mikkelsen and Sophie Sloan's magnetic chemistry, Dust Bunny is a dazzlingly imaginative and stylish feature debut from director Bryan Fuller.

Dust Bunny thrives for a good while on Fuller’s fertile imagination, which here asks "What if Leon: The Professional but with a ravenous oversized leporid?

B-

Writer/director Bryan Fuller was definitely restricted by budget for this high concept "What if John Wick came for the monster under your bed?" But it isn’t NOT satisfying and fun.

A sumptuous visual feast — a candy-colored, fairy-tale nightmare that revels in whimsy, danger, and emotional truth.

This makes "Dust Bunny" a film for kids – yeah, they may have dreams but in a good way – and adults, too. As a matter of fact, the adults may like it more.

I really wanted to like this movie. I was hoping that the movie would have been better executed. But in the end, it was a forgettable movie. I was bored watching this movie because there wasn’t any action in it and the ending was disappointing.

Better than I thought it would be. Starts slow but it pays off. It sticks to its presence ends up being a decent film. Mrs Weaver steals the movie every scene she’s in is hilarious

This film was interesting. although some parts are rather hackneyed, the overall story and performances were good. I just wish that the monster was less comic looking but realize it exists in the child's psyche. I liked the locale of the film and the unique use of martial arts.vIt is a different form of the monster under the bed that is a childhood fantasy.
