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.

2.5/4

Doesn’t add up to much more than a neat kiddie-centric hard-R genre exercise.

More of a conspicuous pastiche than a unique remixing of components, ”Dust Bunny” eventually does commit to Aurora’s darkly wondrous proposition, and it’s undeniably eye-catching on its way there.

3.5/4

That “Dust Bunny” also comments with restraint on parenting and all monsters we need to purge from our lives, elevates it even more so. As does Mikkelsen’s envious wardrobe.

Film is a dangerous, potentially harmful medium. While 'Gremlins' inflicted violence on puppets, 'Dust Bunny' features violence that's strictly not for kids.

[Dust Bunny's] full of vibrant images and aesthetics that a fresh wave of audiences can call their own.

A-

Dust Bunny is so much fun and so charming in its execution that it is able to overcome those minor flaws and result in an entertaining experience that is definitely worth a watch. Make sure to look under the bed after seeing it though, just in case.

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.
