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?

What’s so wonderful about the (weird, ravenous, adorably fuzzy) empowerment fantasy offered by Dust Bunny is that it’s so upfront about the fact that it’s a fantasy.

It’s dark yet eccentric and colorful with some really cool camera work. I admire how much imagination is on display both from a visual and a story standpoint. Unfortunately, I thought the narrative was stretched a tad too thin.

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
