Dust Bunny is exactly the kind of movie fans should expect from Fuller, but it's also wildly surprising.

Fuller is having a blast with ‘Dust Bunny,' never overplaying his themes, choosing to make pure entertainment, first and foremost.

IndieWire

Mikkelsen, in one of the most tender performances of his career, and Sloan, whose expressive eyes stay impossibly wide for the duration of the film, craft an easy chemistry together, his mordant humor matching hers like a glove.

Rated: B

Screen Rant

Bryan Fuller's Dust Bunny blends cute visuals with dark themes, but uneven humor and pastiche elements undermine its potential.

Rated: 4/10

We Live Entertainment

Regardless of some shaggy plotting and light frights, the movie’s sense of style, the lead performances, and what we get out of Aurora’s experience with all of this lets Dust Bunny stand out well enough as a fun ride.

I desperately wanted to love Dust Bunny. There is a world where this concept is executed brilliantly, but the movie we got now is just a mishmash of ideas that don’t mix well together at all.

Rated: 4/10
