FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/dust-bunny-movie-review-mads-mikkelsen-and-sophie-sloan-elevate-a-familiar-tale/ "Dust Bunny doesn't reinvent the wheel or say something profoundly new about grief and trauma, but it manages to be a satisfying experience. It's a "silly" film in its conception, and its VFX might not dazzle, but it's all executed with evident affection and clarity of purpose. There's a positive and clear message about sensitive matters, wrapped in a somewhat humorous and innocent layer that, with the due warning about "accessible violence", can be appreciated by various ages. Bryan Fuller reminds us that the monsters under the bed are as real as the pain that feeds them, and that true courage lies not in having no fear, but in finding someone who believes in our truth enough to help us turn on the light."

Whimsy, darkness, and lovely acting This movie loos nothing like its trailer, and that is a great thing, especially today. Too many will give up their entire plot, but this movie plays it closer to the vest, and throws you a few massive curveballs along the way. The acting and directing is solid, the sound and visuals are great, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable movie. I can highly recommend it.

**Definitely worth a watch** This film is a standout from other films released in the last decade. It has all the elements that make it a watchable and enjoyable family film: good acting, good filmography, good story. It's a fantasy on par with the similar films of this genre spanning back to the 1980s, that isn't waste of your time. **9/10**
