Ten-year-old Aurora has a mysterious neighbor (Mads Mikkelsen) who kills real-life monsters. He’s a hit man for hire. So, when Aurora needs help killing the monster she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services.

Moviegoers are saying
Bryan Fuller's fantastical hitman fairy tale splits audiences with its audacious blend of Mads Mikkelsen as a professional killer hired by a child to slay the monster under her bed. While reviewers praise the luscious production design, witty dialogue, and surprisingly effective balance of adult action-horror with童话charm, many note the film's ambitious premise doesn't always stick the landing, with CGI choices and repetitive storytelling holding back its Jeunet & Caro-inspired vision.

hannibal season 4 is everywhere for those with eyes to see it
m 95Sep 9, 2025So Bryan Fuller made a movie that echoes Jeunet & Caro, Jim Henson, and Roald Dahl. I only wish they had gone animatronic instead of CGI. This is gonna be a future filmmaker’s favorite movie as a kid.

i wish mads mikkelsen was MY foster dad
cobDec 15, 2025It has a very interesting premise and an ambitious staging that doesn't always live up to its promise, with a story that becomes increasingly confusing and repetitive as the minutes pass. In the end, there are a few beautiful scenes, beautiful colors, and an overall…

Listen, I hear you, Guillermo Del Toro's Leon: The Professional sounds like the worst movie of all time but I thought this was cute and fun tbh. The kid and Mads are excellent and hilarious together, the production/costume design and world-building has at least a little bit…
Josh LewisFeb 1, 2026Honestly I was trepidatious about watching this film fearing that it would be too... childhood cutesy but surprisingly walked a fine balance between adult action horror and adorable fairy tale like modern narrative with a pathos for all ages. One can't start without…
pirateneckbeardJan 13, 2026"Is that enough money to procure your services?" "How do you know the word 'procure'?" It's silly as hell but equally fun as hell. Never seen high heel pistols before. Mads being a teen pregnancy is pretty wild to think about too.

- Buttercup likedDust Bunny
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…
zxki likedDust 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…
AJ Zeppenfeld likedDust BunnyThe first 20 min I was really thinking Id end up hating this movie. Thankfully a bit of plot and character development started kicking in and by the end I could say I enjoyed it. Didnt love it, but I enjoyed it.

Sain alguses kohe aru et not my vibe, siiski veits ullatas sest see polnud nii halb kui alguses tundus aga no ega vaga hea ka polnud…mads mikkelsen tho…
Evan likedDust BunnyI liked the movie, i really did. The pacing was good, the dialogue wasn't dry, the cinematography was AMAZING. You can tell someone really put effort into this movie. Still I don't think i'd watch it again. It's claimed as Horror/Action.. And i can really the the action, the horror not so much.…
Marny is "meh" onDust BunnyIt would’ve been cooler if there weren’t any real monsters and if the girl witnessed her parents be murdered and she formed these monsters as a way to cope. Literally don’t understand at all how that’s her monster and it killed her other parents …. Like what do you mean… does everyone have a…
- Cecilie dislikedDust Bunny
Absolutely not for me. Too absurd, too many extreme colours and creative angles (it gets exhausting to look at), the story is childish and feels too drawn out, it feels repetitive, and the characters all feel off. Rarely do I regret watching a film, but this... big regret.
Ita likedDust BunnyA really fun movie! Think ‘Léon: The Professional’ but set in a fantasy world. The story is entertaining and flows well, and Mads Mikkelsen is always a joy to watch. Great performance, great vibe - I had a really good time with it.
Pran likedDust BunnyIn between a thumb and heart for this one. Unique visuals (very wes anderson esque) lovely soundtrack, and great child acting. Very entertaining and interesting commentary on childhood

The film’s writing is the sort that begs you to find it cute and quirky, which makes it quite grating if you don’t.

With a flair for the surreal and fantastical, it’s easy to see how Fuller’s feature debut could become a cult favorite just like his shows have.
