Dust Bunny

'Léon: The Professional', but sprinkled with a whole lot of fantasy. I was expecting something generic and cheap but was pleasantly surprised by what Fuller did here. From the directing, writing, and production to the acting, designs, and soundtrack. Mikkelsen, Weaver, Dastmalchian, Atim, and even the little girl were all utilised brilliantly. The humour was refreshingly good, and so was the pacing. I loved how balanced the R rating felt too. It’s definitely a little scary for kids, but I’m sure they’d get through it fine. It’s a plus for the adults in the room, for sure.

A film I had the honor of seeing back in October at the Telluride Horror Show and even got to hear the director speak about the film a bit. You can tell it was a passion project for him and he says the inspiration for the film was 80s family films like the Goonies and Gremlins. I will be transparent, didn't really get that for the film but it is defiantly bursting with creative and stylization. This is one I didn't expect to be as funny as it was rather than scary, I would say it's more of a thriller. It has so much personality and heart and the visuals are breathtaking. It had people of the festival talking a lot. I don't know how it'll do in theaters but I would go see it if you want a hilarious good time.

Rated: 7.9/10

Mikkelsen teaming up with a kid to hunt an under-the-bed monster was honestly a pitch too wild to ignore. I love this; it’s a weird, heartfelt action ride that totally nails the creepy fairytale vibe.

What Worked:
• Mikkelsen is amazing as a grumpy hitman reluctantly stepping up to protect her.
• The ornate, surreal sets make it feel like a dark storybook.
• The giant bunny is a vicious, crazy take on a childhood nightmare.

The Friction:
• The FBI agent side plot felt distracting whenever it pulled us from the main duo.

Verdict:
I love it. Watch for a wild action fairytale. Skip if you expect a standard hitman movie.

This was stunning. My perfect cup of tea. Just a little slow at times.

super charming story of a little girl who just wants someone to believe her
